Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with particular regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the area and the effect on the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area by introducing built form into an undeveloped agricultural field that contributes significantly to the dispersed and rural character of the settlement, appearing incongruous and at odds with the existing linear pattern of development.
