Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- whether the site has an adequate foul drainage connection to serve the development
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers in respect of private amenity space
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the spatial strategy in the recently adopted development plan by locating housing in a smaller rural settlement with poor accessibility to services and sustainable transport, and this conflict attracts full weight given the plan's recent adoption.
