Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the spatial strategy in the development plan and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether or not the development would result in adverse effects on the integrity of European Sites in relation to nutrient enrichment and recreational disturbance
What decided it
The site's unsuitability due to its location in the countryside outside the spatial strategy, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts and potential harm to European Sites, outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery.
the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the significant harms arising from location contrary to the spatial strategy, adverse effects on character and appearance, unacceptable highway safety impacts, and potential harm to European designated sites
