Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for housing with regard to the development plan, the Framework and the accessibility of services
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with specific reference to privacy

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole by being located outside development limits in an inaccessible location contrary to Policy GS3, and the significant harm to character and appearance and future occupiers' privacy cannot be outweighed by the limited housing contribution.

the limited contribution to housing supply and economic benefits during construction and in the longer term did not outweigh the significant harm identified with regards to the main issues

Framework references: 80, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy GS2, Policy GS3, Policy HP3, Policy NE4, Policy HP4
