Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is in an appropriate location, with particular regard to the adopted development plan settlement hierarchy
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy by locating a new dwelling outside the defined settlement boundary in open countryside, and with the Council demonstrating a 6.25-year housing land supply, no material considerations justify departure from the up-to-date development plan.
the limited benefits of housing delivery and local employment were outweighed by the conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan and the need to maintain a plan-led approach to development
