Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site would be a suitable location for a new dwelling, having regard to its accessibility to local services
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Halloughton Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Halloughton Conservation Area and the rural setting of the village, which was not outweighed by the modest benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
The benefits of housing delivery, support for local services, self-build accommodation and economic benefits during construction were outweighed by the considerable harm to the Conservation Area and conflict with development plan policies protecting character and rural character.
