Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy and the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the protection of land for sand and gravel extraction
What decided it
The site lies outside the existing developed footprint of the settlement and would project into the countryside, causing adverse effects on character and appearance and prejudicing mineral extraction, with insufficient benefits to outweigh these harms.
