Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location
What decided it
The site's location in open countryside outside the settlement boundary, combined with its unsustainable accessibility requiring reliance on private vehicles, means it is not suitable for residential development and conflicts with the development plan.
The limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling, construction employment and support for local services do not outweigh the harm to character and appearance, the conflict with the development plan, and the unsustainable location requiring private vehicle reliance.
