Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing having regard to the development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Special Landscape Area
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with the development strategy set out in Policies GS2 and GS3, which seek to focus new development within defined development limits, could not be outweighed by the modest housing and economic benefits, particularly given the Local Planning Authority's demonstrated five-year housing land supply.
The lack of harm to character and appearance was neutral in the planning balance, but the significant weight afforded to the conflict with the development plan strategy outweighed the modest positive contributions to housing supply and economic benefits.
