Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to relevant local and national planning policies relating to new development in the countryside
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate mitigation to protected species
What decided it
The proposal would not constitute exceptional design and sustainable development as required by Policy PG6 of the Local Plan, principally because its rear siting would be at odds with the established pattern of development on Brereton Heath Lane and would not fit within the overall form and layout of its surroundings.
