Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to the spatial strategy for the Borough
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether there are material considerations sufficient to outweigh any harm or policy conflicts identified in relation to the first two main issues
What decided it
The proposal's unsuitable, car-dependent location contrary to the Council's spatial strategy, combined with harm to the character and appearance of the area, was not outweighed by the identified benefits.
the recognised benefits of adaptable/wheelchair housing provision, the drainage research project, biodiversity net gain, highway land, and general housing delivery did not outweigh the harm to the spatial strategy and to the character and appearance of the area
