Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the development proposed
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area owing to the elevated nature of the site
What decided it
The site's location outside the main built-up area within open countryside, combined with the harm to character and appearance from its elevated setting, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan.
The limited benefits of the five-dwelling scheme, including housing delivery and support for local services, did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan on location and character and appearance grounds
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP4Policy ENV1
