Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for residential development having regard to (a) policies for the location of housing; and (b) the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial and long-lasting adverse effect on the landscape and character of the area, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply and economic growth.
The modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits were outweighed by the substantial and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
