Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the location for the development proposed with regard to the character and appearance of the area and access to services and facilities
What decided it
The site's suburban character, bounded by existing housing, combined with its location in a key rural service centre with accessible services and facilities, and the absence of any harm to character, appearance, ecology or highways, justified allowing the appeal despite the conflict with the development plan.
The conflict with the development plan was outweighed by material considerations including the sustainable location within a key rural service centre, the suburban character of the site bounded by existing housing, the absence of harm to character and appearance, and the accessibility of services and facilities to future residents.
