Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the spatial strategy in Policy LP2 of the development plan by locating open market housing in the countryside outside the defined settlement envelope, and no material considerations outweigh this conflict.

The modest benefits of housing delivery, rural community vitality and sustainable transport access were outweighed by the significant conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy
