Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing, with particular regard to the local development strategy and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would introduce residential use with associated activity and paraphernalia that would fail to respect the site's role in transitioning from Warminster's built form to the countryside, thereby conflicting with the development plan's spatial strategy and policies protecting landscape character.
