Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site provides a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local and national planning policy and accessibility
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on trees

What decided it

The identified harm to location suitability, character and appearance, and trees would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic contribution when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, displacing the presumption in favour of sustainable development.

the identified harm to location suitability, character and appearance and trees, weighed significantly against the proposal, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic contribution, displacing the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework
