Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant local policies relating to new development in the countryside
- The effect of the proposal on European protected sites and protected species
- Whether the proposal would provide sufficient biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan's countryside policy and fails to demonstrate it would not adversely affect European protected sites and protected species, and these harms outweigh the limited housing benefit.
The limited housing benefit of one dwelling attracted limited weight and did not outweigh the adverse impacts of harm to European protected sites and protected species and departure from the development plan's spatial strategy
Plan policies cited: Policy S5, Policy DM11
