Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site represents an appropriate location having regard to the Council's settlement hierarchy
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding countryside
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the development boundary in a Minor Rural Settlement where development is restricted to limited infill, combined with the harm to the distinctive transition zone between the village and countryside, outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest contribution to housing supply and limited economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to the Council's settlement hierarchy and the character and appearance of the area
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 3Policy 5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 55
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
