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.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy HO10Policy HO11Policy SP3Policy BE1
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 78Paragraph 79Paragraph 119
