Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would result in a replacement or new dwelling
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to accessibility
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would result in acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
- whether the proposal would provide housing of an appropriate size and type
- whether the proposal demonstrates suitable carbon reduction benefits
What decided it
The proposal would result in a new dwelling in the countryside in an unsuitable location not supported by development plan policies, would harm character and appearance, and could result in inadequate living conditions due to the uncontrolled fallback consent.
