Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is in a suitable location, having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
- whether the proposal would be served by a suitable foul water drainage system
What decided it
The proposal's location in open countryside separated from settlement and failure to meet the exceptional design test required by Policy HOU8(e), combined with insufficient evidence of suitable foul drainage arrangements, meant the identified conflicts with the development plan could not be outweighed by the proposal's benefits.
