Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be in a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would introduce an inappropriate suburban form of development outside the settlement boundary that would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and undermine the plan-led development strategy.
the modest benefits of housing for older people and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate weight given to harm to the development strategy and the significant weight given to unacceptable harm to character and appearance
