Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be suitably located having regard to the development plan and national policy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including landscape character

What decided it

The absence of evidence demonstrating community-led development and local demand for the proposed plots, combined with the significant harm to the character and appearance of Collingham Lane and the valued landscape, outweighed the material consideration of the district-wide shortfall in self-build and custom-build housing plots.
