- Inspector
- Cragg D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to national and local planning policies in respect of the distribution of development
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to landscape character
- the effect of the development on the integrity of coastal Sites of Special Scientific Interest and European protected sites (designated sites)
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating residential development outside the settlement boundary where it does not meet the criteria for countryside housing, and this conflict is not outweighed by any material considerations including the Framework or the existing business use.
Framework references: 174
Plan policies cited: Policy STP1, Policy STP2, Policy STP3, Policy HOU2, Policy HOU7, Policy HOU8, Policy QOP1, Policy ENV1, Policy ENV2, Policy ENV3, Policy ENV5
