Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would represent sustainable development in terms of the spatial strategy of the development plan and in terms of accessibility to services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal's location outside the settlement boundary in open countryside, combined with limited accessibility to services and facilities, conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy and does not represent sustainable development.

The limited benefits of temporary employment during construction, local spend by future residents, and provision of one house were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan spatial strategy and poor accessibility to services and facilities
