Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal meets the settlement strategy of the Development Plan, having regard to access to services and facilities
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully extend the existing ribbon of development into the countryside and would not be sustainably located with regard to access to services and facilities, and these adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with the settlement strategy, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery on a small site, even under the tilted balance triggered by the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
