Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposal would preserve the setting of nearby heritage assets
  • the effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety
  • whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would secure the provision of an off-site affordable housing contribution

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and to the setting of designated heritage assets, combined with the unsustainable location, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing contribution.

The moderate benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits, and affordable housing contribution do not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance, harm to heritage assets, and conflict with the development strategy.
