Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The suitability of the location for the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to development plan policies concerned with housing in the countryside

What decided it

The existence of an extant outline permission for two dwellings that would create a continuous line of at least five dwellings, combined with the self-contained character of the dwelling group along Davey Lane, meant the proposal would accord with Policy SCLP5.4 in the particular circumstances of the case.

The policy conflict with Policies SCLP3.3, SCLP5.3, SCLP5.4, SCLP5.7 and SCLP7.1 was outweighed by the particular circumstances, including the extant permission, the self-contained nature of the dwelling group, the absence of other policy conflict, and the national objective of significantly boosting the supply of homes.
