Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether the proposal would represent rounding off.

What decided it

The proposal would incur into open countryside and would not represent rounding off as defined in the development plan, thereby conflicting with policies protecting the character and appearance of the area, and the limited housing and economic benefits would not outweigh this harm.
