Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing with particular regard to the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the rural character and appearance of the area through encroachment into the countryside, which would conflict with the development plan as a whole and outweigh the limited housing and economic benefits.
The limited housing and economic benefits of two dwellings were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan as a whole
