Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area having particular regard to the location of development and to National and Local Planning Policy
- The effect of the proposed development on ecology and the environment
- Whether or not the proposed development would make adequate provision for affordable housing and contributions towards education and the Penhale Dunes Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
What decided it
The proposal would represent a harmful intrusion into the countryside outside any recognised settlement and would fail to accord with the development plan taken as a whole, with the identified harm significantly outweighing the limited benefits.
The limited economic benefits and housing contribution were outweighed by the significant harm resulting from conflict with the development plan, particularly the harmful intrusion into the rural countryside and Heritage Coast.
