Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed dwelling, having particular regard to development plan policies which seek to control new housing in the countryside
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal does not comply with Policy 3 of the Local Plan as it neither constitutes rounding off of the settlement nor development of previously developed land, and the modest sustainability benefits do not justify deviating from development plan policies.
