Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is in an acceptable location for housing with regard to local and national planning policies
What decided it
The site is not physically isolated and would be consistent with national policy for rural housing as it would enhance the vitality of the rural community and occupants would have reasonable access to services and facilities at Dunchurch.
The delivery of four additional dwellings and support for local services outweighed the location of the development on greenfield land outside the settlement boundary, given the site's containment by existing development and proximity to services.
