Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is a suitable location for housing having regard to accessibility to local services
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Isle of Axholme Area of Special Historic Landscape Interest

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole, being located outside the defined development limit in an unsustainable location and causing harm to the character and appearance of the Isle of Axholme Area of Special Historic Landscape Interest.

The adverse impacts of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of three dwellings when considered against the Framework as a whole, even if the Council lacked a five-year housing land supply.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CS2Policy CS3Policy CS8Saved Policy LC14
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 78Paragraph 80Paragraph 85Paragraph 203Paragraph 11
