Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would represent an unacceptable intrusion into the open countryside
What decided it
The site would not be visually well contained by existing landscape features as the proposed housing would be at least partially visible from key vantage points, particularly during winter months before proposed planting matured, thereby intruding on views of the open rural landscape and conflicting with Policy HO2 criterion 3.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HO2
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
