Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the proposal on the provision of open space, with particular regard to opportunities for recreation and the character and appearance of the area.
What decided it
The loss of valued informal open space and the resulting harm to the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
The adverse impacts on open space provision and the character and appearance of the area would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits (including the modest housing contribution and economic benefits) when assessed against the Framework as a whole, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
