Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed dwelling having regard to development plan and national planning policies

What decided it

The proposal would extend urban form into the countryside beyond the existing extent of the built-up area and would not comply with the cluster policy requirements, thereby conflicting with the development plan's spatial strategy.

The limited benefits of delivering an additional home, supporting local vitality, and providing specialist accommodation for a disabled child were outweighed by the significant harm to the spatial strategy and the environment of the wider area.

Framework references: 79, 80, 130, 174

Plan policies cited: Policy SCLP3.1, Policy SCLP3.2, Policy SCLP3.3, Policy SCLP5.3, Policy SCLP5.4
