Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for residential development, having regard to local and national planning policy
What decided it
The location of the proposal outside any defined development boundary would undermine the Council's plan-led approach to the delivery of housing and protection of the countryside, a matter which attracts significant weight and outweighs the modest benefits associated with the proposed development.
The modest benefits associated with the proposed development (housing supply contribution, socio-economic benefits, employment boost) were outweighed by the significant weight attached to the location outside the development boundary and the harm to countryside character and the plan-led approach.
