Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Ironstone Hills Fringe Special Landscape Area (SLA)
- whether the proposal would comply with relevant development plan policies in respect of housing on sites adjacent to a village
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the Special Landscape Area through its excessive scale, incongruent design, and prominent siting, which conflicts with development plan policies that require such schemes to be appropriate to their landscape setting and settlement form.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS.5, Policy CS.9, Policy CS.12, Policy CS.15, Policy AS.10, Policy 10 of the Napton-on-the-Hill Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031, Policy 1 of the Napton-on-the-Hill Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031, Policy 3 of the Napton-on-the-Hill Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031, Policy 5 of the Napton-on-the-Hill Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031
