Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to local and national policies for the distribution of housing and the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse effect on landscape and character of the area, which would be substantial and long-lasting, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of housing supply and economic contribution.
The modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits during construction and occupation were substantially outweighed by the significant and long-lasting adverse effects on landscape and character of the area, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
