Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing having regard to the promotion of sustainable travel, and the effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The location of the proposed development outside the settlement boundary, combined with the absence of sustainable travel options and the significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, outweighs the modest housing benefit.

The significant weight given to housing growth was outweighed by the significant weight of the failure to make an exceptional case and the harm to character and appearance caused by locating development outside the settlement boundary contrary to the development plan.
