Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development having regard to local and national planning policies and access to services and facilities
What decided it
The appeal site is located in open countryside outside and not immediately adjacent to the developed footprint of Caistor, and the proposal does not meet any of the exceptions for countryside development set out in Policies LP2 and LP55, conflicting with the spatial strategy of the up-to-date development plan.
The benefits of housing delivery and contribution to housing supply were outweighed by the conflict with the spatial strategy of the up-to-date development plan and the harm to the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP2Policy LP55Policy LP13Policy No 2 of the Caistor Neighbourhood Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 78
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
