Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing, with particular regard to the local development strategy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal creates a new dwelling in an inappropriate location outside a defined settlement, in conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy for housing delivery, which cannot be outweighed by other considerations.
The limited benefits from one dwelling and the enhancement to the immediate setting do not outweigh the fundamental conflict with the development plan's settlement hierarchy and sustainability requirements.
