Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local and national policies and access to services and facilities

What decided it

The appeal site is not well-related to the settlement due to its incompatibility with the prevailing form of development and represents unacceptable development in the open countryside with poor accessibility to services and facilities, contrary to the development plan.
