Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The site's unsustainable location in open countryside remote from services and facilities, combined with the proposal's harmful impact on rural character and appearance, conflicts with the development plan and cannot be justified.
The limited housing contribution was outweighed by the conflicts with the development plan regarding location sustainability and rural character harm, with the five-year housing land supply position meaning the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
