Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would accord with the development plan's strategy for the distribution of housing in the National Park, including its location and the provision of affordable housing
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the landscape and scenic beauty of Dartmoor National Park and the setting of the Horrabridge Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy and housing policies by locating a non-affordable custom build dwelling in the open countryside adjoining a settlement, contrary to Policies 3.4 and 3.6, and would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the Horrabridge Conservation Area that is not outweighed by the scheme's benefits.
