Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site provides a suitable location for the development proposed, having particular regard to the development plan's spatial strategy and the effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's location outside the settlement boundary and in a backland position contrary to the development plan's spatial strategy and the prevailing linear pattern of residential development in the area.

The modest benefit to housing supply was outweighed by the harm arising from conflict with the spatial strategy and the character and appearance of the area
