Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the countryside and on the role and function of the Hinkley/Barwell/Earl Shilton/Burbage Green Wedge
  • whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development strategy for the area

What decided it

The significant and unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and the role and function of the Green Wedge, combined with conflict with the development strategy, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits of the scheme.

The modest housing benefits and economic benefits of five dwellings were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, the role and function of the Green Wedge, and conflict with the development strategy, even taking into account the lack of five-year housing land supply.
