Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for the development proposed having regard to the Councils development Policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would result in the loss of best and most versatile agricultural land
- whether suitable access would be achieved for refuse and delivery vehicles
What decided it
The appeal site's designation as a strategic landscape buffer in the development plan, combined with the failure to demonstrate safe access for refuse vehicles, meant the scheme could not be justified despite the benefits of self-build provision.
