Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be suitably located, having regard to national and local planning policies, which seek to restrict residential development in the countryside
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, included in respect of protected trees
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the development, having particular regard to outlook and privacy
- The effect of the proposal on protected species
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the settlement boundary in an unsustainably located countryside area, combined with unacceptable harm to character and appearance and inadequate living conditions due to overlooking, meant the development conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
