Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development with particular regard to the location of development strategy for Broadland, access to services and facilities and highway safety
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating development outside settlement limits in an unsustainable location, and would harm the rural character of the area, with the limited housing benefit insufficient to outweigh these harms even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of locating a single dwelling in an unsustainable location outside settlements and harming rural character significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic benefit, such that the proposal does not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
