Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the backland siting of the proposed dwelling, which would be remote and detached from the distinctive road-fronting settlement pattern, outweighed the limited socio-economic benefits.
the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the socio-economic benefits of the proposal, resulting in a non-sustainable form of development
