Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The proposed development's location and access to services and facilities, its effect on Best and Most Versatile agricultural land, and on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The fallback scheme of four dwellings would cause significantly greater harm in respect of access to services and facilities through increased movements and development intensity than the proposed single dwelling, outweighing the fallback's lesser impact on agricultural land and character.
