Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, particularly the erosion of the open and rural nature of the site and the weakening of the clear boundary between the built-up settlement and open countryside, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits.
The modest housing benefits and associated social and economic advantages were afforded moderate weight, but the significant harm to character and appearance was given significant weight, resulting in the adverse impact significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
