Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable as the location for residential development
- The effect of the development on an Area of Local Landscape Sensitivity, a protected view and on the character of the village and the streetscene
- Whether there would be a loss of high grade agricultural land
What decided it
The proposal is contrary to neighbourhood plan policies ASSN1 and ASSN2 which restrict residential development outside the settlement boundary to essential workers, and would sterilise best and most versatile agricultural land contrary to national policy.
