Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The site's location in open countryside outside a development boundary, combined with its inaccessibility by sustainable transport modes for day-to-day services, conflicts with Strategy 7 and Policy TC2 of the Local Plan.

The modest public benefits of a single self-build dwelling would not outweigh the harm identified by the conflict with the development plan policies on countryside development and accessibility

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Strategy 7Policy TC2East Devon Local Plan 2013-2031East Devon Villages Plan 2018
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 219Paragraph 48
