Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would provide a suitable location for housing having regard to the development strategy for the area and accessibility to services and facilities
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to protected trees, the public right of way network (PROW) and utilities
  • The effect of the proposed development upon protected species

What decided it

The adverse effects of granting permission, comprising unsustainable location, significant harm to character and appearance, unresolved impacts on protected species, and development plan conflict, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of 6 dwellings and limited economic contributions.

The modest benefits of housing delivery and economic contributions were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse effects of unsustainable location, significant harm to character and appearance, unresolved protected species impacts, and development plan conflict when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
