Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The principle of the development and whether the appeal site is a suitable location for new housing with specific regard to the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The appeal site comprises grassland that reads as part of the wider open countryside and is not enclosed by longstanding boundary features, therefore the proposal would not constitute rounding off or infill and would harmfully extend the built form into open countryside.
The limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling and modest economic and social contributions were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflicts with the development plan.
