Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to policies in the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect of the proposed development on an area of Protected Open Space
What decided it
The appeal site's location outside the settlement boundary in open countryside, separated from the established linear pattern of development by mature woodland and hedgerow, means the proposal would not accord with the development plan's spatial strategy for sustainable development.
