Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development having regard to the settlement strategy of the development plan
  • the effect of the proposed development on existing hedgerow

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan settlement strategy by locating residential development outside the settlement boundary without satisfying the exceptional criteria in Policy HOU 04, and would cause unquantified harm to protected hedgerow contrary to Policy ENV 06.

the limited benefits of two dwellings and associated social and economic benefits did not outweigh the conflict with the up-to-date development plan policies
