Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for new housing having regard to local and national planning policies
  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for new housing having regard to the accessibility to services and facilities
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including the Cotswold National Landscape
  • The effect on highway safety
  • The effect upon the vitality and viability of the Hatton Court Hotel
  • The effect on protected species
  • The effect of the proposal upon the Cotswold Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation

What decided it

The site's location outside settlement development limits in open countryside, combined with poor accessibility to services, unacceptable landscape harm to the National Landscape, inadequate highway visibility, and unresolved protected species and SAC mitigation issues, collectively rendered the proposal unacceptable.
