Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy and the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's location outside the settlement boundary in open countryside, combined with poor accessibility to services and the harm the development would cause to the rural character and appearance of the area, means it is not a suitable location for housing and conflicts with the development plan.

The limited benefits of housing supply and contribution to housing delivery were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan and the harm to character and appearance of the area.
