Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would accord with the locational requirements of development plan policy for new housing
- The effect of the development on the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
What decided it
The development would significantly harm the scenic qualities of the Shropshire Hills AONB and would not accord with the locational requirements of development plan policy for new housing.
The economic benefits of creating a new dwelling and generating employment were outweighed by the significant harm to the scenic qualities of the AONB and non-compliance with locational policy requirements.
