Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be a suitable location for the proposed development in relation to its effect on the character and appearance of the countryside
What decided it
The proposed dwellings would deliver substantially more sensitive development for the site than the existing extant permission, with better integration into the countryside character and appearance, outweighing the policy conflict.
The benefits of securing a more sensitive scheme of development that would improve harmonisation of the site with its rural setting and reduce harm to the character and appearance of the countryside outweighed the conflict with Policies SS1 and NBE1 of the Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy SS1, Policy NBE1, Policy NBE2, Policy INF3, saved Policy GEN1
