Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site would be a suitable location for a new dwelling, having regard to the housing strategy for the area, and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the strict countryside development controls and would detract from the semi-rural character of the area, with the limited housing and economic benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
The limited benefits of providing a new dwelling and economic benefits were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the housing strategy for the district.
