Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for this development having regard to local and national policies
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with Policies H1 and SS10 of the development plan, which restrict housing development outside settlement boundaries to limited infill and other specified forms of development that this proposal does not meet.
Although the development would not harm character and appearance, and would provide modest economic benefits and reasonable access to services, these considerations do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly given the Council's demonstrated five-year housing supply.
