- Inspector
- Worley E
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be in a suitable location, with particular regard to the settlement strategy, character and appearance of the area and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- the effect on the River Avon Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The site qualifies as infilling within a Small Village under the settlement strategy, and the proposed dwelling's scale, siting and design would respect the character of the area while appropriate conditions and a Section 106 undertaking would mitigate impacts on neighbours and the River Avon SAC.
