Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local policies relating to the spatial strategy and settlement hierarchy, and the effect on the character and appearance of the Ropsley Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Ropsley Conservation Area and conflict with Policy SP3 by locating the majority of development on open rear garden space outside the main built-up part of the settlement, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
Framework references: 199, 200, 202, 124
Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy SP3, Policy SP4, Policy DE1, Policy EN6, Policy R&D2, Policy R&D7
