Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development, having regard to local policies for housing in the countryside
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with local development plan policies restricting residential development in the countryside outside named settlements, and this conflict is not outweighed by the modest benefits of a single dwelling or the limited weight attributable to brownfield redevelopment considerations.
The small benefits from housing supply, local economy and community vitality, and negligible weight given to green infrastructure enhancement, were outweighed by the considerable weight of conflict with local development plan policies and the modest harm to character and appearance.
