Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, having particular regard to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, accessibility and development plan policies
whether the proposed development would provide safe and suitable access to the highway, with particular regard to the visibility splay to the west

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area and AONB landscape, and would not provide safe and suitable access to the highway, conflicts which are not outweighed by the social and economic benefits of providing an accessible dwelling.
