Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be in an appropriate location for new housing
  • The effect of the development on the landscape character of the Northumberland National Park
  • The effect of the development on the designated heritage assets associated with the Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Hadrian's Wall) World Heritage Site

What decided it

The development fails on three independent grounds: it is not in an appropriate location for new housing contrary to the development plan; it would cause significant harm to the landscape character of the National Park; and it has not demonstrated that harm to the significance of designated heritage assets would be avoided.
