Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, with particular regard to whether the site is located within the 'Non-Principal' settlement of Upper Oddington
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Oddington Conservation Area (CA), and whether it would conserve or enhance the natural beauty of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The site is located outside the Non-Principal Settlement of Upper Oddington in unsustainable countryside where future occupiers would be dependent on private car use, and the proposed dwelling would adversely affect the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Conservation Area and AONB.
