Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the countryside
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside caused by the introduction of perpendicular built form conflicting with the established linear settlement pattern outweighed the modest housing supply and economic benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The modest housing contribution and associated economic and social benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and the unsustainable location with limited accessibility to services and facilities, resulting in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
