Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for housing with particular regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the countryside and whether it would lead to increased coalescence of settlements
What decided it
The substantial and collective adverse impacts on the character and appearance of the countryside and on coalescence between Farnham and Badshot Lea significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of the scheme.
The substantial adverse effects on countryside character and settlement coalescence significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing, affordable housing, self-build provision and open space, so the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) did not favour the proposal
