Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would represent a suitable location for housing
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal's location outside the development limits in the countryside and its unacceptable effect on character and appearance were decisive and outweighed the housing and economic benefits.

The benefits of housing delivery, community support and economic benefits were outweighed by the conflict with development plan policy regarding location and the unacceptable harm to character and appearance of the area.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS2, Policy CS3, Policy CS8, Policy RD2, Policy CS5, Policy DS1, Policy H5
