Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable site for housing, having regard to its location and local and national policies relating to development within the countryside, the character and appearance of the area, and the accessibility of the site to services and facilities
What decided it
The site's location outside the main built-up area of Wingate, separated by intervening open space and woodland, means it is not well-related to the settlement and therefore fails to accord with Policy 6 and countryside development policies.
Framework references: 82, 83, 84, 114, 116
Plan policies cited: Policy 6, Policy 10, Policy 21, Policy 29, Policy 39, Policy 40
