Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether an appropriate housing mix would be provided
What decided it
The proposed development would conflict with development plan policies restricting housing to existing settlements and would cause greater harm to character and appearance than the fallback prior approval scheme, which does not justify departure from the development plan.
