Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would be suitably located, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan and access to services and sustainable transport
- the effect of the development on nearby trees, and whether the presence of these trees would have an acceptable effect on the living conditions of future occupiers
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan, requiring development outside settlement boundaries to accord with a specific allocation or policy, which the scheme fails to satisfy.
The harm arising from the proposal's conflict with the development plan significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, despite the Council's housing shortfall triggering the tilted balance.
