Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the local development strategy for the area, and its effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The site's location beyond the settlement boundary in open countryside, combined with the proposal's harmful impact on rural character and appearance, conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy STP 1Policy LNP1Policy HOU 7Policy HOU 8Policy QOP 1Policy ENV 1Policy ENV 3
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 80
