Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing having regard to development plan policy for housing in the countryside
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether material considerations exist to outweigh any policy conflicts identified in respect of the above issues
What decided it
The significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area and the site's poor sustainability substantially and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery in circumstances where the Council cannot demonstrate a 5-year supply.
the adverse landscape impacts and poor sustainability substantially and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering three dwellings, notwithstanding the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply
