Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the location of the appeal site is acceptable having regard to the development plan policies and the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by extending built development into open countryside and diminishing the gap between settlements, conflicting with local design policies and paragraph 174 of the Framework, and the absence of a legally binding mechanism to secure the entry-level affordable housing requirement meant the proposal could not meet paragraph 72 of the Framework.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 1Policy 25Policy 41Policy 44
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 72Paragraph 174
