Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be an appropriate location for housing, having regard to the strategy of the Development Plan
  • whether the proposal should make provision for infrastructure, in particular for affordable housing

What decided it

The proposal's location outside the defined settlement boundary conflicted with the development plan strategy to protect countryside, and this conflict was not outweighed by housing supply considerations given the Council's demonstrated five-year supply.
