Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for new housing

What decided it

The proposal's compliance with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly JCS Policies 1 and 6 promoting sustainable patterns of development concentrated close to essential services, outweighs the limited conflict with Policy GC2 regarding location outside settlement limits.

The limited harm from conflict with Policy GC2 (location outside settlement limits) is outweighed by the proposal's contribution to housing supply, alignment with sustainable development principles, compliance with JCS Policies 1 and 6, and the absence of material planning harms; moderate weight given to environmental and social benefits and moderate weight to economic benefits from construction and local services.
