Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the integrity of protected European sites
What decided it
The absence of a completed legal agreement to secure mitigation for recreational impacts on protected European sites, combined with the significant harm to character and appearance, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
the modest benefits of a single dwelling and construction/local expenditure were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance and the conflict with policies protecting protected European sites
Plan policies cited: Policy ENV3, Policy ENV1, Policy DM2
