Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- Whether the appeal site offers a suitable location in terms of access to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- If harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other material considerations
What decided it
The proposal would introduce residential accommodation into the countryside contrary to the spatial strategy and would result in heavy reliance on private car use for both residential occupiers and business operations, conflicting with sustainability objectives and the development plan when read as a whole.
