Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to the setting of the Newton Abbott Town Centre, Courtenay Park and Devon Square Conservation Area and the significance of the host dwelling as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset
What decided it
The timber shed sits comfortably within the established pattern of sheds and boundary treatments already present along Linden Terrace and, combined with the limiting effect of hedging on intervisibility, does not harm the character and appearance of the area or the setting of the heritage assets.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN5 of the Teignbridge Local Plan (2014)
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.
