Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal meets the Strategy of the Development Plan, including its aim to safeguard the open countryside
- whether the proposal would provide an acceptable location for housing, in respect of its accessibility to services and facilities and highway safety
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The conflict with the development plan strategy to safeguard the open countryside, combined with the failure to secure the required affordable housing contribution, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits.
the adverse impacts of granting permission, including conflict with the countryside safeguarding strategy and affordable housing policy, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of providing two additional dwellings and associated social and economic contributions
