Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having particular regard to: (a) its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposed design would be of exceptional quality; (b) the ability of future occupants to access services, facilities and employment by means other than private motor vehicles
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- the acceptability of the development in relation to flood risk
- whether the development would complement the mix of housing within the locality
What decided it
The proposed design would not be of exceptional quality and would harm the character and appearance of the area by representing an inappropriate northward encroachment into the countryside setting, compounded by unacceptable highway safety risks and unresolved flood risk issues.
