Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposal is acceptable, having regard to local planning policy and accessibility to services
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on biodiversity
What decided it
The location outside the development boundary with poor accessibility to services by sustainable means, combined with significant harm to character and appearance, outweighed the limited housing and self-build benefits.
The adverse impacts of unsustainable location and significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of five dwellings and self-build provision, such that the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
