Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of Plan:MK, the Framework and accessibility
its effect on the character and appearance of the area
its effect on highway safety
flood risk
its effect on agricultural land and the rural economy

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—location outside the settlement boundary, harm to character and appearance, unacceptable highway safety impacts, and insufficient flood risk information—and the modest housing benefits are insufficient to justify permission contrary to the plan.

The modest weight attached to housing delivery and quick delivery of 2 units was insufficient to outweigh the harm identified in respect of location, character and appearance, highway safety, and flood risk, and the conflicts with development plan policies.
