Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan and national policy and the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposals would result in a detrimental intensification of urban features within the defined open countryside setting of the village, harmful to the intrinsic character of the area, and the site is not a suitable location for development having regard to the development plan spatial strategy.
The limited benefits of two dwellings contributing to housing supply and local economic vitality did not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan spatial strategy.
