Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be well related to the pattern of settlement and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The adequacy of the information related to the proposed non-mains drainage system
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the Limits to Development in conflict with development plan policies, combined with the Council's demonstrated five-year housing land supply and inadequate drainage information, rendered the appeal dismissible.
The benefits of housing delivery and effective use of a vacant paddock did not outweigh the conflict with development plan policies and the modest harm to character and appearance, given the Council's five-year housing land supply.
