Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would represent development which would be acceptable in terms of principle and sustainability

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with Policy SD25 as the building is not a previously developed site (being within a residential garden) and does not meet the policy's exceptions for countryside development, and the adverse environmental impacts of creating a new dwelling in an unsustainable location significantly and demonstrably outweigh the social and economic benefits.

Development plan policies
Policy SD25
