Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development plan would support the proposed residential development in this location and if it does not whether any conflict with the development plan would be outweighed by other material considerations
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with the development plan's countryside and open space policies was not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme.
the significant benefits of affordable housing, biodiversity net gain, market housing and wider social/economic benefits did not outweigh the substantial harm arising from conflict with the development plan and the loss of designated open space
