Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a location supported for housing having regard to the development plan
- The effect of the proposal on designated heritage assets
- Highway safety
- Whether the proposal would safeguard the integrity of the River Lugg Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The combination of the site's location outside the settlement boundary contrary to the development plan, less than substantial harm to heritage assets that is not outweighed by the public benefits, highway safety deficiencies, and unresolved impacts on the River Wye SAC integrity collectively justify dismissal.
