Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the development strategy and the accessibility of services
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location in Open Countryside outside a designated infill village boundary, combined with poor accessibility to services and public transport, conflicts with the development strategy and sustainability policies, and this conflict with the development plan is not outweighed by any material considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PG6Policy PG3Policy SD1Policy SD2SADP Policy PG10
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.
