Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the landscape character of the area.

What decided it

The very significant and permanent harm to landscape character, particularly to Important View 1 and Vista I identified in the Market Bosworth Neighbourhood Plan, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery even given the Council's housing supply shortfall.

The very significant harm to landscape character outweighed the significant benefit of housing delivery, affordable housing and other benefits, notwithstanding the Council's housing supply shortfall and the resulting out-of-date status of some policies.
