Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the development, with regard to its countryside location and accessibility

What decided it

The site's unsuitable countryside location and poor accessibility to services and public transport, combined with the absence of any functional justification for residential use, means the development conflicts with the development plan and cannot be permitted.
