Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is in an appropriate location having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The proposal is located in an inappropriate location in the countryside where the development plan does not direct housing, and the settlement lacks the facilities and accessibility to support sustainable development in accordance with national and local policy.
the material considerations including housing supply contribution, construction jobs, and potential repair of the Marmion Arms attracted considerable weight but were insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the spatial strategy policies and development plan as a whole
