Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site constitutes a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to national and local planning policies which seek to restrict residential development in the countryside
- the effect of the proposal on the landscape character and appearance of the countryside
What decided it
The combination of unsustainable location contrary to the spatial strategy and significant harm to landscape character and appearance, which together outweigh the housing supply benefits under the tilted balance test.
The adverse impacts of granting permission—unsustainable location and significant harm to landscape character—significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and economic activity, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
