Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for new residential development with regard to its accessibility to services, facilities, and public transport, and the provisions of local planning policy
What decided it
The site's poor accessibility to services, facilities and public transport, and its location in the countryside outside identified settlements, means it is unsuitable for new residential development and conflicts with the development plan, and this conflict is not outweighed by the benefits of self-build provision even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission (unsustainable location contrary to development plan) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits (self-build dwelling provision, biodiversity and visual enhancements, economic benefits), and the material considerations did not indicate the proposal should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan
