Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for residential development having regard to the development plan and national policy
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate a functional need requiring occupancy adjacent to the quarry day and night as required by the first limb of Policy DM6 of the SADMPP, and the limited benefits of the scheme could not outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
The limited benefits of housing supply, modest temporary economic benefits, visual improvements and environmental features were insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan policies restricting countryside development
