Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for the development proposed, having regard to the requirements of local and national policy
What decided it
The gas pipeline easement constraint on the allocated land necessitated the inclusion of additional unallocated land to provide adequate open space and landscaping, and the unallocated land would be experienced as an integrated part of the broader development with no demonstrably greater visual harm than the allocation alone.
