Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is in a suitable location for housing with regard to safeguarding the character and appearance of the countryside
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the countryside caused by the incursion of development into a sensitive, prominent location significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited social and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
The modest social and economic benefits of a single dwelling were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to countryside character and appearance, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
