Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the appeal proposal having regard to the Council's strategy for the location of development
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the integrity of the European designated sites
What decided it
The sustainability of the location despite being outside the settlement boundary, combined with the proposal's compliance with character and appearance policies and the secured mitigation for European designated sites, outweighed the conflict with Policy S7.
Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S7, Policy S11(c), Policy DM8, Policy DM9
