Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing having regard to its position within the countryside and its accessibility to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary in countryside lacking suitable accessibility to services, combined with unacceptable harm to the rural character and appearance of the area, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
The benefits of housing delivery (great weight) and limited economic and social benefits (limited weight) were outweighed by the significant weight afforded to the unsuitability of the location and harm to character and appearance.
