Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the spatial strategy in the development plan and the accessibility of services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the landscape
- Whether any adverse impacts of the proposal would significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits
What decided it
