Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would accord with policies related to reducing carbon emissions
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the rural area through its modern design, additional built form, and prominent access drive, which outweighs the limited benefits of energy efficiency and housing provision.
