Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the development, having regard to the development plan and national policy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Stathern Conservation Area
What decided it
The appeal site's location outside the Limits to Development in the made Neighbourhood Plan, combined with the proposal's failure to meet the criteria for countryside development and its harmful impact on the character of the area and the setting of the Conservation Area, led to dismissal.
