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 amount of development
What decided it
The harm to the conservation area and national landscape, which under NPPF Footnote 7 provides a strong reason for refusal that displaces the presumption in favour of sustainable development, even if the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The housing benefits and economic benefits to local services weighed against the great weight to be attached to harm to the conservation area and national landscape; the latter substantially outweighed the former
