Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for a dwelling, having regard to the settlement policies of the development plan, the accessibility of services and facilities, and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding Area of Great Landscape Value
What decided it
The site lies in open countryside outside any settlement where residential development is not permitted under the development plan policies, and the proposal would cause harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Great Landscape Value.
The limited benefit of providing one additional dwelling and contributing to self-build demand does not outweigh the conflict with the settlement and landscape protection policies of the up-to-date development plan.
