Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the principle of residential development is acceptable in this location
What decided it
The appellant failed to establish exceptional circumstances justifying an isolated new dwelling in the countryside, as required by the development plan spatial strategy and the Framework.
The limited public benefit of a single dwelling towards housing needs was outweighed by the conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan and the Framework's aim to avoid isolated new homes in the countryside.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP1SP3SP4SP7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
