Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, the impact on the hill fort, the ridge and furrow remains, the village form and the AONB
- The application of the tilted balance contained in paragraph 11(d) of the NPPF and the weight to be given to the need for self-build plots in the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, the village form, and the setting of the scheduled monument through loss of ridge and furrow earthworks, which harms outweigh the benefits of providing self-build plots.
