Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an acceptable location for the proposed scheme, having regard to the relevant policies relating to the location of new housing
  • the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the village and its setting
  • the effects on highway safety
  • the effects on neighbouring occupiers, in terms of noise and disturbance from traffic

What decided it

The substantial and unacceptable harm to landscape character and appearance, combined with severe highway safety impacts, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
