Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the separation between settlements
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including trees and landscaping
- the effect of the development on sites of ecological value
What decided it
The adverse impact of the development on the aims of the Green Wedge and the character and appearance of the countryside would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits, such that the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework was insufficient to overcome the conflict with the development plan.
