Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be located in an acceptable location in relation to local spatial strategy

What decided it

The proposal is in clear conflict with Policy CO2 as the site lacks any relationship to a clearly defined village or hamlet nucleus and therefore cannot be regarded as acceptable infill housing in the countryside.
