Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location is suitable for new residential development, having regard to local and national policy for the provision of housing
What decided it
The significant weight of the conflict with the Council's housing strategy and countryside development policies substantially and demonstrably outweighs the limited weight of housing supply benefits, applying paragraph 11d)ii of the Framework.
The adverse impacts of granting permission—conflict with the development plan's settlement hierarchy and countryside protection policies—significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply contribution and self-build provision, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
What the Inspector cited

- CS Policy DMG2CS Policy DMH3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
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.
