Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the local development strategy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species and biodiversity
- The effect of the proposed development on local infrastructure, with particular regard to sport and recreation, and community facilities
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole, particularly regarding location sustainability, character and appearance, and highway safety, with no other considerations sufficient to outweigh these findings.
