Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the spatial strategy of the Development Plan, the accessibility of the site to services and facilities and its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the Development Plan's spatial strategy and sustainability requirements because it is new-build housing in an unsustainable location that does not fall within the specific exceptions permitted by Policy 7, and the unforeseen natural event causing the building's loss is not a sufficient reason to overcome this conflict.
