Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • highway safety

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area resulting from the incongruous positioning of the dwellings within the open countryside, which would outweigh the modest housing and biodiversity benefits.

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area outweighed the modest benefits arising from the provision, construction and occupation of two additional dwellings and associated improvements in biodiversity, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under paragraph 11d of the Framework.
