Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the proposed development is suitable for housing with regard to reducing the need to travel by private vehicles
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed development would be located in an unsuitable location for housing with regard to reducing reliance on private vehicles and would cause greater harm to rural character and appearance than the extant Class Q fallback scheme, and these harms were not outweighed by other material considerations.
