Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for new housing, having regard to access to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and provide an unsustainable location for housing, with occupiers heavily reliant on private car use, and these substantial harms outweighed the limited housing and self-build benefits of a single dwelling.
the adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising unsustainable location and harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited socio-economic benefits and self-build provision of a single dwelling
