Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The proposal would result in substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and National Landscape that substantially outweighs the moderate benefits of housing provision, and the site does not represent the rounding off of a settlement.

The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and National Landscape substantially outweighs the moderate benefits of up to nine dwellings, economic benefits during construction and post-occupation, and contribution to housing need
