Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for housing having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
What decided it
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and inadequate access to services and facilities significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply and elderly persons accommodation, even accounting for the shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The moderate weight given to housing supply and elderly persons accommodation benefits was outweighed by the significant weight given to harm to character and appearance and poor accessibility to services and facilities; the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
