Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed
- The effect of the proposal on existing trees
What decided it
The proposal would extend built form into the countryside in a form at odds with the established linear settlement character, representing a significant departure from the development plan approach that was not justified by the minor potential housing shortfall identified.
Material considerations in favour of the proposal, including housing delivery and parking provision, did not outweigh the fundamental development plan conflict arising from the unsuitable location and uncharacteristic form of development

- Development plan policies
- Policy S3Policy S4Policy ENV1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
