Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the development, having particular regard to the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area and the accessibility of employment and services
- whether other considerations, including the personal circumstances of the appellant, would outweigh any harm and indicate that planning permission should be granted
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and the unsustainable location requiring reliance on private vehicles significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited public benefits of providing a single residential unit.
