Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is consistent with policies relating to housing in the district, with regard to the built-up limits of Fringford and the scale of development in relation to its size and service provision, and its effect on the character and appearance and, thereby, rural setting of the village.
What decided it
The proposal's accordance with Policy PV1 by virtue of its location within Fringford's built-up limits and its appropriate scale relative to the village's size and services, without harm to character, appearance or heritage assets.
The proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole and there were no other material considerations, including any identified harms, to indicate it should be determined otherwise, so the appeal was allowed without the need to resolve the disputed housing land supply position.
