Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is in a suitable location for new residential development
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the Strategic Gap
  • The effect of the development on nearby European and Ramsar sites, with regard to (a) nutrients, (b) recreational disturbance

What decided it

The significant/substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unsuitability of the location for residential development outweighed the limited housing supply and other benefits under the tilted balance.

The limited social, economic and housing supply benefits of the two dwellings were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and the conflict with sustainable development objectives, so the tilted balance favoured refusal.
