Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for housing development with respect to local and national policies
  • The effect of the proposed dwelling on ecological and arboricultural interests
  • Whether there are other material considerations sufficient to outweigh any harm identified in respect of the first and second issue

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the Council's spatial housing strategy and development plan policies governing rural housing distribution, as the site is in open countryside beyond a small settlement without meeting any of the policy exceptions for such locations.
