Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, taking account of the Council's adopted spatial strategy and access to services and facilities
What decided it
The site's location in a sustainable area with good access to services and facilities by sustainable transport, combined with its status as previously developed land, outweighed the conflict with Strategy 7 regarding countryside location.
The limited conflict with LP Strategy 7 was outweighed by the moderate benefits of the scheme comprising housing delivery, social and economic benefits, and the site's status as previously developed land in a sustainable location with good access to services and facilities by sustainable transport.
