Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development with regard to the Council's strategy for the location of new residential development
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan strategy for locating new residential development within or adjoining existing settlements, and with the Council able to demonstrate over six years of housing land supply and recently adopted development plan policies, there are no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this conflict.

The absence of harm to character and appearance did not outweigh the conflict with the Council's strategy for the location of new residential development as set out in the development plan

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: TDLP Section 1 Policy SP3TDLP Section 2 Policy SPL1
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 15Paragraph 130Paragraph 11
