Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is appropriate having regard to local and national planning policies that seek to manage the location of new development together with effects on the character of the countryside
- whether the proposal is appropriate having regard to sustainable means of transport and the access to facilities and services
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside combined with the unsustainable location lacking accessibility to services and facilities outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest social and economic benefits of housing delivery and support to local services were outweighed by the significant harm to the character of the countryside and the negative environmental and social effects arising from the unsustainable location.
