Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing having regard to the development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether it has been demonstrated that the site can be safely developed for housing with regard to coal mining risks
- whether it has been demonstrated that the site can be developed for housing without unacceptable effects on biodiversity and the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would undermine the planned approach to the distribution of development by locating housing outside the settlement boundary contrary to Policy S3, and it could not be demonstrated that the site could be safely and acceptably developed without unacceptable impacts on highway safety, biodiversity, character and appearance, and coal mining risks.
