Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site would provide a suitable location for housing having regard the spatial strategy for the district
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the Cotswold National Landscape and the Long Compton Conservation Area

What decided it

The appeal site lies outside the Built-Up Area Boundary and the proposal does not meet the requirements for a Local Needs Scheme under Policy CS.15, as it lacks both substantive evidence of identified housing need and community support, thereby conflicting with the spatial strategy for the district.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: CS.15, CS.16, AS.10, H2, H3, H4, CS.5, CS.8, CS.9, CS.11, E2, SAP.6
