Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development with regard to the spatial development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area through an illogical extension into countryside that erodes the separation between Carlton and Camblesforth outweighs the housing and economic benefits, particularly given the Council's demonstrated housing land supply.
the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits did not outweigh the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan spatial strategy
