Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The principle of the proposed development, with particular regard to its location and local policies concerned with housing provision and sustainable rural communities

What decided it

The proposal would exacerbate an existing imbalance in the housing stock by providing a detached dwelling when the local need is for housing types that redress this imbalance, thereby conflicting with the development plan's strategy for sustainable rural communities.
