Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location, proposed land use and the amount of development is suitable with particular regard to the Council's spatial strategy and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would conserve and enhance the landscape and scenic beauty within the Cotswold National Landscape
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the spatial strategy by locating new housing in the open countryside outside the settlement boundary and would cause unacceptable harm to the landscape and scenic beauty of the Cotswold National Landscape.
