Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development having regard to the development plan
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on protected species

What decided it

The site's location as an isolated dwelling in the countryside, remote from services and settlement, conflicting with the development plan's spatial strategy and failing to meet the circumstances in paragraph 80 of the Framework.

Even if the tilted balance at paragraph 11 of the Framework was applied, the suggested benefits of housing supply and self-build provision do not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the harm to character and appearance and conflict with adopted policy
