Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would meet the policy exception for new dwellings in the countryside as set out in paragraph 80e of the National Planning Policy Framework and the local housing strategy
- The effect of the proposed development on carbon emissions
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would not meet the exception in paragraph 80e of the NPPF for isolated homes in the countryside because it would not be of truly outstanding design quality reflecting the highest standards in architecture, nor would it significantly enhance its immediate setting or be sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area.
