Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
whether it would be in a suitable location having regard to development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The harm to the semi-rural character and appearance of the site caused by the introduction of an additional dwelling, combined with conflict with development plan policies on the location of housing in rural areas, was not outweighed by the modest benefits of one additional house in a location where the Council can demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

the harm caused by conflict with development plan policies on location and rural character, tempered by accordance with the Framework on sustainable location, was not outweighed by the modest economic and housing benefits of a single additional dwelling
