Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Dade E

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed dwelling would be in a suitable location having regard to the local development strategy
the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
if harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other material considerations

What decided it

The site's remoteness from services and facilities would make future occupants dependent on private motor vehicles, generating greenhouse gas emissions and conflicting with the local development strategy's sustainability objectives in a manner that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of the proposal.

The conflict with the local development strategy, particularly the significant weight attached to conflict with JCS Policies 1 and 6 and moderate weight to conflict with DM DPD Policy GC2, combined with the limited weight of housing and self-build benefits, resulted in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
