Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be suitably located, having regard to national and local planning policies which seek to restrict development in the countryside, and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary in the countryside, combined with the lack of evidence demonstrating compliance with Core Policy 34 for additional employment land and the inevitable harmful effect on rural character and encouragement of unsustainable travel patterns, rendered the proposal unsuitable.

- Core Policy 1Core Policy 2Core Policy 23Core Policy 34Core Policy 51Core Policy 57
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
