Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal represents an appropriate development in the countryside, having particular regard to local policy and including consideration of the effect upon the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on ecological habitats

What decided it

The development would conflict with Policies EQ3 and H1 of the Local Plan by failing to constitute appropriate limited infilling and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, with no material considerations outweighing this identified harm.

Framework references: 174

Plan policies cited: Policy EQ3, Policy H1, Policy EQ5, Policy EQ8
