Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on protected habitats sites
What decided it
The development would cause harm to character and appearance through cramped, inappropriate density at the village edge, and the absence of secured mitigation for protected habitats impacts meant the scheme could not comply with conservation regulations.
