Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the development having regard to the development plan and national policy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether suitable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the development with particular regard to light

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the rural area, combined with conflict with the development plan's settlement boundary policy, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits even in the context of an undemonstrated five-year supply.

the modest benefits of two dwellings and associated economic and social benefits were substantially outweighed by the locational harm and significant harm to character and appearance, with the tilted balance not favourable to the proposal
