Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwellings would be in an acceptable location as defined in the development plan
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The development would fail to protect the intrinsic character and distinctiveness of the local landscape as required by Policy S4, and the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing supply benefits.
substantial weight attached to housing supply benefits was outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on landscape character and rural appearance, such that the development was not sustainable development for which the presumption in favour applies
