Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is consistent with local and national policies, including having regard to the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, the Area of Great Landscape Value and Area of High Landscape Value and Sensitivity
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that, despite designation as an Area of Great Landscape Value and Area of High Landscape Value and Sensitivity, the proposal—mitigated by landscaping, sensitive design and the existing fallback position for a woodland burial ground—would cause no harm to landscape character, visual amenity or heritage setting, allowing it to accord with the development plan as a whole.
