Approach
Using our robust assessment methodology, taking into account designations, Local Plan policies and landscape character, we were able to show that of the four sites, the land designated in the Local Plan was the least appropriate for residential development. We also identified that development on our client’s land would have a negligible effect on the local landscape character.
Outcome
The Inspector’s Report agreed that our client’s site is suitable for housing and community use, and that development on the site would have a negligible effect on the landscape character. The site has been recommended for inclusion within the defined village boundary.
