Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of the existing dwelling on the site, regarding noise and disturbance from vehicles
What decided it
The proposal is located outside the settlement boundary in the countryside and does not meet any of the local plan's defined exceptions for new dwellings, and the minor benefits do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
the minor benefits of housing supply contribution, economic benefit, and dwelling type diversity were outweighed by the fundamental conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and the unsuitability of the location for housing
