Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to access to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The poor access to services and facilities requiring overreliance on motor vehicles, combined with the harmful impact on rural character from the dwelling and tree removal, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of a single dwelling even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting permission—poor access to services and facilities and harmful impact on character and appearance—significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of one dwelling and minor economic/social benefits, even when assessed under the tilted balance triggered by the alleged housing land supply shortfall.
