Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would result in an unacceptable conflict with the function and characteristic of the Strategic Green Space and detract from the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would erode the green open qualities of the Strategic Green Space and detract from the character and appearance of the area, resulting in an unacceptable conflict with the development plan objectives.

The benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision were outweighed by the unacceptable conflict with the function and characteristic of the Strategic Green Space and harm to character and appearance.
