Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing with regard to the character and appearance of the area and the accessibility of services and facilities
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the accessibility of services and facilities, combined with conflict with the development plan as a whole, demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and accessible dwelling provision.
