Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential land use, having regard to its location and accordance with the spatial strategy of the development plan
- The amount of development proposed and its effect on the Cotswold National Landscape, the Biddestone Conservation Area and its setting, and the significance and setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The great weight required to be given to conserving the landscape and scenic beauty of the Cotswold National Landscape, combined with the great weight to be given to conserving the significance of the Biddestone Conservation Area, outweighed the moderate benefits of providing a single dwelling and local economic benefit.
The great weight given to conserving the Cotswold National Landscape and the great weight given to conserving the Biddestone Conservation Area outweighed the moderate weight given to housing supply and local economic benefits, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
