Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, having particular regard to the local development strategy and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The appeal site is open countryside outside the physical boundaries of the settlement and the proposal would not constitute rounding off or infill development, thereby conflicting with the hierarchical development strategy in the adopted development plan and causing harm to the character and appearance of the area.
The limited benefits associated with the location close to services and facilities and economic benefits from construction do not outweigh the conflict with the settlement policies of the development plan and the harm to character and appearance, particularly given the Council's ability to demonstrate over five years' housing supply.
