Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would allow for suitable waste collection
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary in designated countryside, combined with the Council's demonstrated 5+ years housing supply and the absence of any special justification under Policy 1, meant the proposal was in an unsuitable location for housing contrary to the development plan spatial strategy.
