Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposed development is appropriate, having regard to local planning policies on the location of housing
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan strategy for housing location and there are no material considerations that would justify a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
The small social and economic benefits of a single dwelling did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan

- Development plan policies
- Policy DS1Policy DS3Policy DS4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12Paragraph 60Paragraph 61
