Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development strategy for the area
- the effect upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings
What decided it
The site's location outside the defined settlement boundary and failure to meet any exceptions for open countryside development under the development plan strategy rendered it an unsuitable location for residential development, and this conflict with the development plan could not be outweighed by material considerations.
the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits did not outweigh the conflict with the development strategy for the area
