Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to relevant local and national planning policy
- The effect of the proposed development on mature trees and hedgerows
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary and the absence of proven local need as required by the development plan policies, combined with the Council's ability to demonstrate a 8.4-year housing land supply, meant the material considerations did not carry sufficient weight to outweigh the development plan conflict.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and economic activity during construction were outweighed by the full weight of conflict with the development plan policies, given the Council's adequate housing land supply and the absence of out-of-date plan policies
