Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside
  • the effect of the proposed change from employment to residential use on the rural economy
  • whether the proposal would be in a suitable location with respect to adjacent settlements, services and facilities

What decided it

The considerable weight attributed to harms affecting countryside character, rural economy and settlement pattern significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefit when assessed against Framework policies as a whole, even with the tilted balance engaged.

The harms to countryside character and appearance, rural economy and settlement pattern, attributed considerable weight, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing supply, even though the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
