Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development
- whether the location of the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant local policies relating to development in the countryside
What decided it
The conflict with Policies EM1 and EM10 relating to character and appearance carries considerable weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery, biodiversity enhancements, economic benefits and energy efficient homes were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the considerable harm to character and appearance of the area.
