Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to the local development strategy
- the effect of the development on biodiversity
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The appeal site is not a suitable location for the proposed development as it fails to meet the essential rural need test under the local development strategy, and insufficient biodiversity evidence prevents certainty that harm to the strategic wildlife corridor could be mitigated.
