Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing having regard to the development strategy and the effect on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- whether the proposal would provide appropriate net gains in biodiversity (BNG)
What decided it
The proposed development is not in an appropriate location for new housing as it conflicts with the development strategy which seeks to focus development towards more sustainable settlements, and the benefits do not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
The economic benefits during construction and use of services by future occupants, and the modest contribution to custom/self-build demand, were outweighed by the conflict with the development strategy, the unsustainable location, and the harm to character and appearance of the countryside setting.
