Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of Stebbing Green and the surrounding countryside
- Whether the unallocated site would be appropriate in principle for residential development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of Stebbing Green and the surrounding countryside, combined with the application of paragraph 14 of the Framework, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The substantial harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution from a single dwelling, with paragraph 14 of the Framework applying to prevent the tilted balance from favouring the proposal.
