Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for residential development having regard to development plan policies and other material considerations
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- if harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other considerations
What decided it
The significant improvement to the character and appearance of the site and the removal of the pig farm odour nuisance, combined with the provision of affordable housing and the site's sustainable location, outweighed the conflict with development plan policies restricting development outside settlement limits.
The conflict with local plan policies S3, S4 and S5 was outweighed by the substantial benefits of regenerating a visually intrusive brownfield site, providing affordable housing, relocating a nuisance pig farm, and delivering employment units in a sustainable location with good access to services and public transport.
