Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed dwellinghouse having regard to the settlement strategy and local and national policies relating to development within rural areas
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by overdevelopment of the site and the location in an isolated countryside position contrary to settlement strategy and national policy significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of one additional dwelling.
The modest social and economic benefits and very small contribution to housing land supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the unsustainable location in an isolated countryside position, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11d) of the Framework.
