Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for new housing, with regard to the Council's housing strategy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area, which would result from introducing built form into open countryside, outweighs the small contribution to housing supply.
The adverse impacts on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one dwelling, and the proposal would not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
