Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surroundings, in the context of planning policies for the area
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surroundings through consolidation of sporadic development and erosion of the essentially rural character, combined with the unsustainable location requiring heavy reliance on motor cars, outweighed the modest contribution to housing supply.
The benefits of providing three new homes were clearly and decisively outweighed by the objections relating to harm to character and appearance and conflict with sustainable development policies
Plan policies cited: Policy S7, Policy GEN1
