Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for the proposal, bearing in mind the settlement policies of the development plan and the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the Carbis Moor County Wildlife Site
What decided it
The adverse impacts through harm to countryside character and appearance, harmful impact on the County Wildlife Site, and conflict with the settlement strategy significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of additional housing and economic growth, such that the proposal does not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The adverse impacts of harm to countryside character and appearance, adverse impact on the Carbis Moor County Wildlife Site, and conflict with the settlement strategy significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of additional housing supply, economic growth, and biodiversity net gain, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
