Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The harm arising from conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy and the erosion of rural character significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing up to 7 dwellings when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The harm from conflicts with the spatial strategy and harm to character and appearance, given significant weight, demonstrably outweigh the moderate weight given to the housing supply benefit and support for nearby services, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
