APPEAL ALLOWED

Planning permission for a new house within a garden in Plymouth has been allowed on appeal. The appeal focused on whether the new property would be harmful to the character of the area. It was successfully argued that the new house would fit in with the general pattern of property in the area. As the application was in outline form the details were to be dealt with at a later stage and could accommodate. The decision to refuse permission was not based on good reasons and the appeal was allowed.
