Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development with regard to the Council's strategy for the location of new residential development as set out within the development plan
The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the spatial strategy for residential development in the development plan by locating three dwellings in the countryside outside the settlement boundary, and this conflict is not outweighed by material considerations.

The moderate social and economic benefits of three additional dwellings and support for local services were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and the harmful impact on rural character and appearance
