Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the rural character and landscape of the area
  • whether the location of the proposal would result in an unsustainable form of development
  • the impact on highway safety in relation to visibility at the site access

What decided it

The unsustainable nature of the development in a rural location remote from services and public transport, combined with harm to the landscape character of the AGLV, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing supply benefit even under the tilted balance.

the harm arising from the unsustainable nature of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefit of a single dwelling to housing supply
