Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for development having regard to the Council's policies for the spatial distribution of housing and access to services, facilities and sustainable transport options
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area from extending built form into open countryside, combined with the site's unsuitability as a location for development under the Council's spatial distribution policies, outweighs the limited housing benefits even in the context of a five-year supply shortfall.
The adverse impacts of extending built form into countryside with significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of three dwellings and associated economic benefits, such that the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
