Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development having regard to the Council's spatial strategy for development
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the spatial strategy established under the STMNDP Policy 2.6 by locating residential development outside the designated development boundary without meeting the specified exceptions, and the limited benefits of the scheme do not amount to material considerations sufficient to justify a decision contrary to the development plan.
the limited benefits of housing supply and socio-economic benefits arising from the proposed development, and the lack of other identified harm, do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy
