Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location with regard to local and national policies
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area's local character, history and sense of place
- The effect on Highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on agricultural land
- Whether the proposal would make a suitable provision towards biodiversity
What decided it
The conflict with the up-to-date development plan, particularly the spatial housing policies directing growth to larger centres and the detailed policies on countryside development, character protection, highway safety, agricultural land and biodiversity, outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and sustainable design in a plan-led system.
The benefits of housing delivery and innovative sustainable design principles weighed modestly in favour, but were outweighed by the conflicts with the development plan's spatial and detailed policies in a plan-led system where the Council has an up-to-date plan and 7-year housing land supply.
