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.
