Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the site as a location for residential development
- the form of the development in relation to the character and quality of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan, particularly Policy GC2, and the adverse environmental impact of sterilising Grade 1 agricultural land and harming rural character significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of a single dwelling.
the limited benefits of a single dwelling in a sustainable location were outweighed by the harm to Grade 1 agricultural land and rural character, with the adverse impact significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits
