Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is in a location acceptable in the Development Plan where permission would normally be granted and, if not, whether the personal circumstances of the appellant outweigh the presumption against residential use in open countryside
- Whether the compliance period of 12 months is too short
What decided it
The development's location in open countryside outside the settlement boundary, combined with its poor design and landscape harm, could not be outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances which, while sympathetic, were not exceptional enough to justify residential use contrary to the Development Plan.
