Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect on biodiversity
Whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to noise

What decided it

The proposed development would not be contiguous with the existing settlement pattern and the inadequate ecological survey prevented assessment of protected species impacts, together precluding permission.

The benefits of housing delivery, economic support and sustainable location were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance through non-contiguous development and the inability to rule out harm to protected species.
