Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would accord with the Council's development plan strategy for housing in the countryside
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether the proposal would provide a suitable location for housing with regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate through proper viability assessment methodology that market dwellings were required to make the affordable housing viable, combined with the harmful impact on character and appearance from the proposed access.
