Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed new dwelling having regard to development plan policy, and the accessibility of the site to services and facilities
  • The proposal's effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with development plan policies restricting development in open countryside and would cause harmful effects on character and appearance that are not outweighed by any material considerations, particularly given the less harmful fallback position of the extant planning permission.

Framework references: 80

Plan policies cited: Policy RA2, Policy RA3, Policy SS4, Policy SS6, Policy SS7, Policy SD1, Policy LD1, Policy CNP1, Policy CNP2, Policy CNDP9
