Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for the proposals, having regard to its location and land use

What decided it

The harm arising from the principle of introducing residential development in open countryside contrary to the development plan's spatial strategy, ascribed significant weight, substantially outweighs the moderate benefits of the scheme.

The benefits of the proposed development, collectively attracting moderate weight, would be substantially outweighed by the harm relating to the principle of the scheme and the primacy of the development plan, when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework.
