Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with specific reference to access to services and facilities and the character and appearance of the surroundings

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, given the importance the Framework places on protection of character and high quality design, demonstrably outweighs the minor benefits of three additional dwellings even in the context of the Council's severe housing land supply shortfall.

The benefits of three additional dwellings and the Council's worsening housing land supply position were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
