Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would appear excessively cramped at a density incongruous with its rural surroundings, causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and local services support.

The moderate weight given to housing supply and local services benefits did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to character and appearance, and the proposal failed to accord with the development plan as a whole.
