Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is in a suitable location for a new dwelling
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's location outside the development boundary in an unsustainable location lacking local services and facilities, combined with the harm to the established linear character of the area through rearward development, rendered the proposal contrary to the development plan with insufficient benefits to justify approval.

The limited benefits of providing an additional dwelling and economic activity were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the conflict with development plan policies on location sustainability.
