Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the settlement strategy of the development plan

What decided it

The appeal site is not a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to the harm to rural character and appearance and the unsustainable location with limited access to services and facilities.

The negligible contribution to housing supply and modest temporary economic benefits during construction do not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance and the unsustainable location contrary to the development plan.
