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.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1Policy 2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 17Paragraph 105Paragraph 124Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
