Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for a dwelling in the light of development plan and national planning policy
  • The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The Inspector's finding that there was an essential functional need for a rural worker to live permanently at Banns to respond promptly to time-critical agricultural, farm shop and security issues.

The Inspector found no conflict with the development plan and no material considerations indicating a decision other than in accordance with it, so the appeal succeeded without a tilted or weighed balance against harm.
