Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to amount, and specifically in terms of the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the amount of development proposed significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing supply benefits and economic and social benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
