Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing with regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
  • the effect of the proposal upon highway safety
  • the effect on protected species and biodiversity
  • whether the proposal includes adequate provision for foul drainage

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating a new dwelling in open countryside without meeting any of the policy exceptions, and this fundamental conflict is reinforced by unacceptable harm to AONB character and highway safety.
