Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the settlement strategy
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the countryside

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole by locating new residential development outside the settlement boundary in a Countryside Policy Area contrary to Policy 25, and causes harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, with no material considerations outweighing this conflict.

The modest benefits of up to 4 dwellings and limited Framework support for previously developed land were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan settlement strategy and the harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, with a substantial existing housing supply.
