Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on trees
  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for housing having regard to local policy on housing in the countryside
  • The effect of the development on the efficient operation of the highway network

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan by proposing market housing outside the defined settlement boundary in an area where only affordable housing exceptions are permitted, and causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through tree removal and inappropriate siting.

The limited benefits of providing three bungalows and contributing to housing supply do not outweigh the clear conflict with the development plan and the unacceptable harm to character and appearance
