Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and amount of development

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan policies protecting the Strategic Area of Separation and countryside character, and the limited benefits from self-build delivery and housing supply do not outweigh this conflict.
