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.
Framework references: 72, 174
Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 25, Policy 41, Policy 44
