Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the principle of the proposed development with specific regard to its location
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The conflict with the development plan concerning both the principle of development outside the settlement boundary and the harmful effect on character and appearance, which could not be outweighed by the modest additional housing benefits in the absence of a tilted balance.
a conventional weighing exercise with emphasis on the primacy of the development plan, in which the significant weight attached to the development plan conflicts and associated harms outweighed the moderate weight given to additional housing benefits and affordable housing provision
