Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be suitably located having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would have an acceptable effect on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and privacy
- whether the development would have an acceptable effect on parking and highway safety
What decided it
The appellant's failure to demonstrate through a sequential test that no sequentially preferable site was available within or on the edge of defined centres, combined with the harm to character and appearance, meant the proposal conflicted with the spatial strategy of the development plan which could not be overcome by the modest benefits identified.
