Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the temporary residential development having regard to the adopted local development strategy and access to facilities and services
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location in unsustainable countryside with poor access to services and facilities by sustainable modes, combined with modest harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefits even under the tilted balance.
The modest socio-economic benefits of four temporary residential units and contribution to housing supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to sustainable development patterns and character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
