Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the site for the proposal, having regard to the development plan's approach to the supply of housing, with reference to the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unsuitability of the site for the proposal having regard to the development plan's approach to housing supply and the significant harm to character and appearance of the AONB outweighed the modest social benefit of providing a single dwelling.
The modest social benefit of providing a single dwelling to boost housing supply did not outweigh the harm arising from the unsuitability of the location having regard to the development plan's approach to housing supply and the associated harm to character and appearance of the area.
