Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for proposed development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The site's location outside the defined settlement boundary, combined with the harmful impact of the proposed development on the rural and verdant character of the area, means the proposal conflicts with the development plan and material considerations do not indicate otherwise.

- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 15Paragraph 182
