Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwelling would be in a suitable location, with particular reference to development plan policies concerned with housing in the countryside
- The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would not be in a suitable location due to its failure to comply with development plan policies promoting sustainable patterns of development, and this conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by any material considerations.
