Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be suitably located having regard to relevant development plan policies concerning the provision of housing in the district
- whether the proposed development would lead to the coalescence of settlements, with particular regard to the Strategic Green Gap
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the settlement boundary of a Smaller Rural Settlement with limited services and facilities, combined with its incursion into the Strategic Green Gap, fundamentally conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy and harm prevention objectives.
the adverse impacts and harm to the spatial strategy and Strategic Green Gap significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and modest economic benefits
