Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area having regard to its location
What decided it
The lack of safe and convenient access to services and facilities via sustainable modes of transport, coupled with moderate harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the minimal housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
