Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The development would form an awkward and isolated finger of development projecting incongruously from the settlement envelope, resulting in a discordant encroachment of urbanising development into the countryside that would outweigh the limited housing and other benefits.
the limited benefits of housing delivery and biodiversity net gain were outweighed by the significant localised harm to the character and appearance of the area
