Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether it would be in a suitable location having regards to development plan policies, the National Planning Policy Framework and accessibility
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the development's encroachment into the rural landscape, combined with its location outside defined settlements contrary to development plan policies CS1, CS5 and CS18, outweighed the modest benefit of adding a single dwelling to the housing stock.
