Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the development strategy and the accessibility of services and facilities
  • the effect of the development on the River Wye Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Wye Valley Woodlands SAC

What decided it

The adverse impact of conflict with the neighbourhood plan and development strategy, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of providing two dwellings and economic benefits, particularly given that the neighbourhood plan is less than five years old and contains policies and allocations to meet its identified housing requirement.

The adverse impacts of allowing development that conflicts with the neighbourhood plan and development strategy significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing provision and economic benefits; the presumption in favour of development does not apply.
