Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development strategy for the area and accessibility to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on surface water drainage and flood risk
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan spatial strategy and would not provide a suitable location for housing having regard to accessibility to services and facilities, and this conflict was not outweighed by any material considerations including the fallback position which would deliver the same number of dwellings.
The conflict with the development plan spatial strategy and accessibility concerns were not outweighed by the fallback position or the limited benefits of landscaping, biodiversity net gain and socio-economic benefits, resulting in dismissal.
