Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed dwelling would comply with development plan housing policy
  • whether the proposal would meet the policy exception for new dwellings in the countryside as set out in paragraph 84e of the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The proposed dwelling fails to meet the exceptional design standard required by paragraph 84(e) of the Framework and would not be sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area, particularly given its prominent skyline location contrary to the landscape character assessment.
