Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the settlement strategy of the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to noise and odour
- the effect of the proposed development upon biodiversity and protected species
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan settlement strategy by locating residential development outside the settlement boundary without meeting any policy exceptions, and this conflict is not outweighed by the moderate housing benefits offered.
The moderate benefits of housing supply and economic activity during construction were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan settlement strategy, harm to character and appearance, unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and unresolved biodiversity concerns.
