Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing with respect to the Council's Housing Strategy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the developed footprint and failure to constitute infill development as required by ELLP Policy SP4 meant it conflicted with the development plan's settlement hierarchy, and this conflict was not outweighed by the acceptable character and appearance impact or other material considerations.
The acceptable effect on character and appearance and the benefits of housing provision and limited economic benefits did not outweigh the conflict with ELLP Policies SP1 and SP4 and the development plan as a whole.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- ELLP Policy SP1ELLP Policy SP3ELLP Policy SP4ELLP Policy SP25ELLP Policy SP23
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 105Paragraph 79Paragraph 174
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
