Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area and the countryside
- whether future occupiers would be able to access services and facilities by means of sustainable travel
- the effect of the proposal upon protected trees
What decided it
The appeal site is not an appropriate location for housing development under the development plan's spatial strategy, being located in the countryside outside the built form of the settlement and failing to meet Policy HG5's adjacency requirement, and the proposal would cause harmful impacts to the character and appearance of the area.
