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 site's location outside the settlement boundary in an area where the development plan directs only limited development outweighed the modest housing and affordable housing benefits.

the modest social and economic benefits of 10 dwellings including 2 affordable homes were outweighed by the significant harm from undermining the plan-led approach to housing delivery and the permanent loss of best and most versatile agricultural land
