Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the principle of the proposed development with specific regard to its location

What decided it

The principle of development was unacceptable due to the unsustainable location in open countryside beyond the settlement edge, with future occupiers dependent on private motor vehicles, and this substantial harm outweighed the limited housing benefit under the tilted balance.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission for unsustainable development substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of a single dwelling contribution to housing undersupply, assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
