Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan settlement strategy by locating housing in the countryside outside the settlement limit without meeting Policy S4 criteria, and causes harm to the conservation area character that cannot be justified by the limited public benefits.
