Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having particular regard to the spatial strategy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of off-street parking

What decided it

The appeal site's location in an 'Elsewhere' location outside the settlement boundary, not well-served by sustainable infrastructure, conflicts with the spatial strategy of the development plan and this conflict cannot be outweighed by the modest benefits of the proposal.
