Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • location of the development outside a defined settlement boundary
  • accessibility to services and facilities for future occupants
  • whether the infrastructure contributions meet Regulation 122(2) of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations (2010)

What decided it
