Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal may be assessed as for a replacement dwelling in the countryside
- whether or not the location of the proposed development is acceptable with regard to access to facilities
What decided it
The likely material increase in vehicular movements and car dependency arising from a larger, unrestricted dwelling compared to the mobile home it would replace, combined with the site's poor accessibility to facilities and services, rendered the location unsuitable and the harm from increased car reliance moderate and significantly outweighing the limited benefits.
the adverse impacts of granting consent, comprising moderate harm from reliance on travel by car, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very limited benefits of one replacement dwelling and economic advantages of construction and occupation
