Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal, having particular regard to the local development strategy and access to services and facilities
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with conflict with the local development strategy and modest housing benefits, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan's locational strategy
