Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location of the proposed development is acceptable, having regard to the development plan policies with particular regard to accessibility
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal's location outside the development limits in an unsustainable location with high car dependency, combined with its adverse effect on the rural character and appearance of the area, outweighs the modest housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.

the identified adverse impacts of directing new development to unsustainable locations and harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply and limited economic benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole

Framework references: 11, 187

Plan policies cited: Policy SP2A, Policy SP4, Policy SP1, Policy SP18, Policy SP19, Policy ENV1, Policy ENV15
