Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would provide a suitable location for housing having regard to the Council's spatial strategy for the district
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of Sibford Ferris Conservation Area and the Cotswold National Landscape
What decided it
The site's location within the built-up limits of a Category A village with adequate services and facilities, combined with the development's visual containment within the settlement envelope and absence of undue harm to character, appearance, and landscape setting, justified allowing the appeal.
