Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development, having particular regard to relevant provisions of the development plan and national policy
What decided it
The site's location outside any settlement boundary in the countryside, combined with the proposal's lack of specific requirement to be in a rural area, conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy directing development to urban areas, and this conflict is not overcome by national policy or other material considerations.
Framework references: 88
Plan policies cited: Policy SP4, Policy EMP13, Policy EMP14, Policy SP1
