Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal accords with the development strategy for the area
- Whether the Council can demonstrate a 5 year's supply of new housing sites
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan strategy for countryside locations, would harm rural character and appearance, and raises unresolved highway safety concerns regarding access visibility, and these harms are not outweighed by any other considerations.
The conflict with the development plan and identified harm to rural character and highway safety were not outweighed by the limited benefit to housing supply and other considerations, indicating the appeal should be dismissed.
