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.

Framework references: 105, 79, 174

Plan policies cited: ELLP Policy SP1, ELLP Policy SP3, ELLP Policy SP4, ELLP Policy SP25, ELLP Policy SP23
