Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the suitability of the site for the proposal, having regard to the development plan's approach to the supply of housing, with reference to the accessibility of services and facilities
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity with reference to onsite European Protected Species (EPS) and biodiversity net gain (BNG)

What decided it

The unsuitability of the site having regard to accessibility and the unacceptable harm to character and appearance brought the proposal into conflict with the development plan, and the modest benefits of housing delivery did not outweigh this conflict.

The modest benefits of five modern energy-efficient dwellings and limited economic and social benefits were outweighed by the unsuitability of the site for housing due to poor accessibility and the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Great Landscape Value.
