Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the spatial strategy in the Development Plan
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the spatial strategy and its unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, with the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the moderate benefits of housing delivery.
The moderate weight afforded to the provision of three houses and associated social and economic benefits was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant weight given to the conflict with the spatial strategy and the unacceptable effect on character and appearance.
