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.
Framework references: 80, 219, 154, 92, 79, 11
Plan policies cited: JCS Policy 1, JCS Policy 6, DM DPD Policy GC2, DM DPD Policy GC1, DM DPD Policy GC4
