Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether, having regard to the development plan and national planning policy, the appeal site is an appropriate location for self-build housing
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous projection of development into the countryside, which could not be outweighed by the modest contribution to self-build housing demand.
The community benefits arising from the provision of self-build housing and the Council's duties under the 2015 Act were outweighed by the identified harm to character and appearance and conflict with development plan policies.
