Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is in a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with the adopted development plan policies that restrict residential development outside settlement boundaries, and the Council's demonstrated housing land supply of 6.97 years means the tilted balance is not engaged to overcome this conflict.
