Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would be located in the countryside outside the defined settlement boundary in an unsustainable location that would promote car dependency, contrary to Policy 1 of the development plan and NPPF paragraphs 17 and 105.
The absence of harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and the unsuitability of the location for housing in terms of sustainability and car dependency.
