Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to boundary treatment

What decided it

The site's poor accessibility and reliance on motor vehicles for access to services and facilities, combined with the limited support the proposal would provide to the village's vitality, means the location is not appropriate for housing and conflicts with sustainable development principles.
