Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site constitutes a suitable location for the proposal, having particular regard to local and national planning policies which seek to restrict residential development in the countryside, and the effect on the landscape character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary in the countryside, combined with the significant harm to rural character and landscape that would result from the development, meant the proposal conflicted with development plan policies that are not out-of-date and the tilted balance did not apply.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the significant harm to rural character and landscape, as the development plan policies protecting these matters were not out-of-date and the tilted balance under paragraph 11d) of the Framework was not engaged.
