Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for the proposal
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and its harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area could not be outweighed by the material considerations in its favour, particularly given the Council's substantial existing housing land supply.

The substantial weight afforded to affordable housing provision and moderate weight to housing supply, economic benefits and location sustainability were outweighed by the significant weight attached to conflict with the spatial strategy and harmful effect on character and appearance, resulting in dismissal in accordance with the development plan.
