Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be a suitable location for housing with regard to local and national policies
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular regard to visibility and parking
  • The effect of the proposal on flood risk

What decided it

The proposal is fundamentally contrary to the settlement strategy and location policies of the development plan, and the Council can demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply, such that the development plan is the starting point and the proposal's harms are not outweighed by material considerations.

The Council's 5-year housing land supply means the development plan is the starting point; the proposal's fundamental conflict with location policies, harm to character and appearance, and unresolved drainage and parking concerns are not outweighed by local support, reduction in farm traffic, or the efficient use of land.
