Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The permanent and unacceptable harm to the open rural countryside character caused by the loss of a significant gap between existing houses outweighed the moderate benefits of housing provision and self-build units, even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting permission in principle, having regard to location, land use and amount of development, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing provision and self-build units when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
