Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development having regard to development plan policies
  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The site's location beyond the settlement boundary without safe pedestrian access to services and facilities, combined with substandard and obstructed vehicular visibility splays creating unacceptable highway safety risks, conflicts with the development plan and cannot be justified by the limited benefits of a single self-build dwelling.
