Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the settlement strategy for the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the Twywell Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to access for emergency service vehicles
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed dwelling with regard to refuse collection

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan settlement strategy by locating new housing outside the defined village boundary in an unsustainable location, and this conflict is not outweighed by material considerations.
