Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to LP policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- its effect on great crested newts (GCNs)
What decided it
The development's conflict with the spatial strategy and policies of the adopted development plan, combined with harm to character and appearance, could not be justified by the modest benefits offered.
The benefits of housing delivery, construction employment, support for local facilities, and biodiversity enhancement were of insufficient weight to justify allowing the appeal contrary to the development plan policies.
