Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area having particular regard to the effect on the Cotswolds National Landscape
  • whether the location of the site is appropriate for the proposed development having regard to the Council's spatial development strategy
  • whether the proposal would satisfy the requirements of the statutory framework for Biodiversity Net Gain

What decided it

The substantial weight afforded to the harm to the Cotswolds National Landscape, combined with conflict with the spatial development strategy, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

The modest boost to housing supply and economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the harm to the National Landscape and conflict with the spatial development strategy; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
