Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would accord with the spatial strategy of the development plan for the distribution of housing
- the effect of the proposed development on the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or AONB) and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed refuse collection strategy for the site is acceptable
What decided it
The failure to conserve the landscape character of the Cotswolds National Landscape, which on its own provides a strong reason for refusal, combined with harm to the spatial strategy and character of the area, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
The significant harm to the Cotswolds National Landscape character, the undermining of the plan-led approach to housing distribution, and harm to the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing delivery (3.14 years supply shortfall), economic and social benefits, and self-build provision.
