Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to the local development strategy
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the existing protected tree on the site

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly through its location outside the settlement boundary contrary to policies DS1 and MTRA4, and through harm to the character and appearance of the area and risk of harm to the protected veteran tree contrary to policies DM16, DM23 and DM24, with no material considerations indicating a decision should be made otherwise.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy DS1Policy MTRA4Policy MTRA3Policy DM16Policy DM23Policy DM24
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
