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
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect upon biodiversity

What decided it

The conflict with the development plan strategy directing new housing to appropriate locations within settlements, combined with unacceptable harm to character and appearance, outweighed the benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery where the Council can demonstrate a 4-year housing land supply.

The adverse impacts of inappropriate location and harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision, with the presumption in favour of sustainable development not applying.
