Postcode: EX2 9TE

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the suitability of the site for the proposal, having regard to the development plan's approach to the location of housing, with reference to the accessibility of services
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with reference to the Area of Great Landscape Value (the AGLV)
the effect of the proposal on biodiversity, with reference to protected species

What decided it

The combination of the site's unsuitability having regard to accessibility of services, significant harm to the AGLV, and likely harm to a European Protected Species outweighed the modest housing benefits, and the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework did not apply due to the biodiversity harm.
