Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a sustainable location for the development proposed
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The appeal proposal's location in the countryside beyond any settlement boundary, with inherent reliance on private car use, conflicts significantly with the spatial strategy of the development plan and cannot be justified by the limited material considerations advanced.
The significant harm from conflict with the spatial strategy and unsustainable location was not outweighed by the limited benefits of an additional self-build dwelling, modest social and economic benefits, and personal circumstances of the appellant
