Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether this would be an appropriate location for the dwelling proposed, in respect of development plan policy
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal's clear conflict with the adopted spatial strategy in S1LP Policy SP3 and emerging settlement hierarchy policies, which direct residential development to identified settlements rather than semi-rural areas outside settlement boundaries, cannot be outweighed by the minimal benefits of a single dwelling.

the adverse impacts from conflict with the newly adopted spatial strategy and place-making objectives significantly and demonstrably outweighed the small benefits identified, when assessed against the Framework

Framework references: 48, 11

Plan policies cited: S1LP Policy SP3, S1LP Policy SP7, LP Policy QL1, LP Policy EN1, S2LP Policy SPL1, S2LP Policy SPL2, S2LP Policy SPL3, S2LP Policy PPL3
