Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities and the provisions of the development plan
  • the effect of the proposal on landscape character

What decided it

The proposal fails to meet the development plan requirement for countryside development to be in suitable locations with access to services and sustainable transport, and would harm the landscape character of the area.

Plan policies cited: Policy TTV1, Policy SPT1, Policy SPT2, Policy TTV26, Policy DEV29, Policy TTV2, Policy DEV32, Policy DEV15, Policy DEV20, Policy DEV23
