Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing with regard to local and national policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the countryside
What decided it
The proposal cannot be secured as self-build and custom housing at the permission in principle stage and must therefore be treated as open-market housing contrary to the development plan's housing distribution strategy, and it would cause harm to locally distinctive landscape character.
The conflict with the development plan and harm to landscape character are serious planning objections given significant weight; the benefits of addressing the SBCH shortfall are reduced because the tenure cannot be secured and the Council has a healthy housing land supply; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
