Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the development plan would support the proposal in this location having regard to the accessibility to local services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal met the policy test for subdivision of an existing dwelling in the countryside under Policy 7 of the Local Plan and paragraph 80 of the Framework, and the limited accessibility to services and facilities was not a material consideration that should weigh against a single additional dwelling in this location.

The benefits of allowing subdivision of an existing dwelling in accordance with the development plan outweighed any concerns about limited accessibility to services and facilities by non-private vehicle means.
