Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, with specific regard to the development strategy for the area and the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate housing mix for the area
- whether the proposed development should make a contribution towards the provision of affordable housing
What decided it
The proposed development would visually extend built development into open countryside, causing significant harm to character and appearance, and would fail to provide the required affordable housing contribution as part of the wider scheme.
The limited financial benefits and potential biodiversity net gain do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan and the significant harm to character and appearance of the countryside.
