Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site represents a suitable location for housing having particular regard to its accessibility to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, which as a protected area under Framework paragraph 11(d)(i) provides a clear reason for refusal that outweighs the benefits of the scheme.
The benefits of housing supply and economic contribution were outweighed by the great weight given to the harm to the AONB and the unsuitability of the location having regard to accessibility to services and facilities; the presumption in favour of development did not apply.
