Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting and significance of the adjacent Three Horseshoes public house, a Grade II listed building
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development having regard to the Policies of the development plan and the settlement strategy
