Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development with regard to the Council's strategy for the location of development
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the effect on the protected oak trees
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to noise and disturbance, and light pollution
- the effect of the proposal on the ecology and biodiversity of the site and its surroundings
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy for directing growth to existing settlements and would cause unacceptable harm to the appearance of the area and living conditions of neighbouring residents, with insufficient evidence of ecological mitigation.
