Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is in a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to local and national policy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the settlement development boundary in an area not identified for residential growth conflicts with the recently adopted Local Plan's spatial strategy and locational requirements, and this conflict with the development plan taken as a whole is not outweighed by the limited benefits of a single dwelling.
The limited benefits of the proposal (temporary job creation, social benefits, housing contribution, and potential environmental enhancements) do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan's locational strategy and the need to give the recently adopted Local Plan sufficient opportunity to have effect.
