Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the local development strategy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species, with particular regard to turtle dove habitat, foraging and breeding areas
What decided it
The proposal conflicted with the development plan on grounds of unsuitable location outside settlement boundaries and insufficient certainty regarding protection of turtle dove populations and habitats, with no other considerations outweighing these harms.
