Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- Whether the appeal site offers a suitable location in terms of access to services and facilities
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the scheme would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to contamination
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully undermine the spatial strategy for the location of housing and employment land by introducing residential accommodation into the countryside contrary to the development plan policies, and future occupiers would be largely car-dependent contrary to sustainability objectives.
