Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to policies that seek to manage the location of new development and access to services
What decided it
The substantial and wide-ranging harm to character and appearance combined with the unsustainable location outside the settlement boundary with inadequate access to services significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of a single dwelling, even under the tilted balance.
the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and unsustainable location, ascribed substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply and economic/social contributions, ascribed limited weight, under the tilted balance of NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii)
