Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be appropriately located having regard to development plans
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The inappropriate location outside the settlement boundary and significant harm to character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing supply benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The housing supply benefits attracted significant weight, but the inappropriate location and harm to character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh these benefits, making the proposal unsustainable under the Framework.
