Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development proposed having regard to the development strategy for the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on best and most versatile agricultural land
  • whether or not the proposed development would make adequate provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The permanent loss of best and most versatile agricultural land combined with the location outside the settlement boundary contrary to the development strategy, which attracted significant weight and outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision.

the benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing provision, and economic and social benefits were outweighed by the significant harm from conflict with the development plan and permanent loss of best and most versatile agricultural land
