Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to Local Planning Policy
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan, whereby the site is located in the countryside outside the settlement boundary and does not accord with any of the policy exceptions for countryside development, outweighs the moderate benefits the scheme would bring.
The moderate benefits of the proposal (housing mix, affordable housing provision, economic benefits during construction, and highway safety improvements) do not outweigh the significant harm to the spatial strategy and plan-led approach that underpins the Local Plan
Plan policies cited: Policy TTV1, Policy TTV25, Policy TTV26, Policy TTV27
