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 landscape impacts and harm to rural character substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of delivering a single dwelling, even in the context of an unmet housing land supply.
