Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is an appropriate location for residential development
  • the landscape and visual effects of the proposal
  • the effect of the proposal on historic significance
  • the implications of the scheme for the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property to the north, Meadowside

What decided it

The site's location outside the settlement boundary, combined with the clear harm to the AONB landscape character, the historic setting of designated heritage assets, and the unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions, means the proposal cannot be justified against the development plan and material considerations.

The modest social and economic benefits of delivering 3 dwellings do not outweigh the clear harm to the AONB, historic significance, and neighbouring living conditions, particularly given the Council's demonstrated 7.2-year housing land supply.
