Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Compton Bassett Conservation Area, including on the setting of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape
- Whether the location of the proposed development would be acceptable with specific regard to the principle thereof, the Council's spatial strategy and access to services
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity, including trees and hedgerows
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Compton Bassett Conservation Area and the setting of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape outweighed the moderate public benefits of self-build housing delivery.
