Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposed development would accord with policies regarding the location of housing
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on a protected tree
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with the site's location outside a settlement deemed appropriate for new dwellings under the development plan, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefit.
The modest contribution to housing supply and small social and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant and long-lasting harm to character and appearance and the inappropriate location of the site under current development plan policies.
