Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether or not the natural beauty of the Cotswolds National Landscape would be conserved and enhanced

What decided it

The site's effective screening due to landform and mature vegetation, combined with the absence of harm to the character of the locality or neighbouring occupiers, meant the proposed development would not conflict with the purposes of the development plan policies despite exceeding the size restriction.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy AS.10Policy CS.20

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
