Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effects of the proposal on the safe operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site
  • Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for new housing

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three material grounds—character and appearance, highway safety, and location suitability—and the Council can demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, so the tilted balance does not apply and the development plan is determinative.

The limited economic and social benefits of two dwellings and a marginal contribution to housing supply did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance, unacceptable highway safety impacts, and unsuitability of location in the open countryside remote from services and sustainable transport.
