Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to the location, land use and amount of development, with particular regard to the character and appearance of the area and access to services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and fail to provide a suitable location for housing having regard to accessibility to services and facilities, conflicting with the development plan taken as a whole.

The limited economic and social benefits of the proposal would not outweigh the conflict with the development plan
