Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed housing is appropriate having regard to the development plan and national policy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the scheme provides for an appropriate housing mix
What decided it
The proposal would result in isolated homes in the countryside contrary to NPPF paragraph 80, and would cause moderate harm to character and appearance, which collectively significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery in a context of only a 4.6-year supply.
the moderate benefits of housing delivery (8 dwellings towards a 4.6-year supply) and minor economic and environmental benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm of creating isolated homes in the countryside and the moderate harm to character and appearance
