Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to national and local planning policies
- whether the proposed development would integrate into the surrounding built environment with particular regard to the proposed access arrangements
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of No 3 Bellbutts View
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate exceptional circumstances to justify development outside the settlement boundary, combined with poor integration into the built environment via inadequate access arrangements and harm to neighbouring living conditions, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.
