Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would comply with the spatial strategy for the area with regard to the location of housing development
- the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the village fringe and surrounding countryside
- the weight to be given to the need for sites for self / custom-build housing
- the weight to be given to the loss of designated Grade 2 agricultural land
What decided it
The substantial weight given to the conflict with development plan policies concerning the location of new housing and loss of Grade 2 agricultural land was not outweighed by the benefits of self/custom-build housing delivery, which could not be secured without a completed Section 106 agreement.
