Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal, having particular regard to the local spatial strategy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Radstock Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on bio-diversity
What decided it
The site's location outside the development boundary, combined with the less than substantial but weighty harm to the conservation area character and the failure to secure biodiversity net gain, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and no material considerations justified approval.
the limited benefits of six dwellings and associated economic benefits did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the conflict with the spatial strategy
