Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having particular regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by extending built development into the countryside and increasing coalescence between two settlements, which cannot be justified given the Council's substantial housing land supply and the site's location outside the Development Limit.
The limited economic and housing supply benefits from five dwellings were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with the recently adopted development plan strategy
