Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would conserve and enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether this is an appropriate place for new housing having regard to housing strategy and the sustainability of the location
  • Whether it would harm the significance of The Camp Long Barrow
  • If development plan conflict or harm would result from the above, whether material considerations exist to indicate a decision should be made otherwise than in accordance with the development plan, and whether public benefits exist that would outweigh the harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the AONB and the rural countryside, fail to accord with the settlement hierarchy and sustainability requirements, and cause less than substantial harm to a Scheduled Monument, with no material considerations or public benefits sufficient to outweigh these harms.
