Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan and in terms of access to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the appeal proposal offers suitable living conditions for future occupiers
- If harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other material considerations
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by introducing new housing into the countryside in a location lacking sustainable access to services and facilities, and the moderate cumulative benefits do not outweigh this substantial harm.
The substantial weight given to conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by the moderate cumulative benefits of economic contribution, housing mix provision, and biodiversity enhancements.
