Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the settlement strategy for the area and accessibility to services and facilities
What decided it
The significant and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with the unsuitability of the location having regard to the settlement strategy and poor accessibility to services and facilities, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of housing delivery.
The significant and permanent harm to character and appearance and harm to the development strategy, each carrying significant weight, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of ten additional dwellings, limited economic benefits, and affordable housing provision, even in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
