Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether it would be in a suitable location having regard to the development plan policies and accessibility
  • The aforementioned planning obligations
  • If there is any conflict with development plan policies in respect of main issues (i), (ii) and (iii), whether any other factors exist that justify granting planning permission

What decided it

The significant and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the site and the rural setting of Barleythorpe outweighed the benefits of the scheme.

The significant benefits of the scheme (housing delivery, affordable housing, economic benefits and biodiversity net gain) outweighed the limited harm from conflict with countryside location policies, but were insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the site and locality, so the appeal was dismissed.
