Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing in respect of local and national planning policy
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, with due regard to protected trees
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan policies requiring development to be located within defined development boundaries and would cause moderate harm to the open character and countryside setting of the village, and these conflicts are not outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits given the Council's adequate housing land supply.
The limited benefits of 2 dwellings to housing supply and mix, local service support, and construction-phase economic activity do not outweigh the moderate harm to the open character and countryside setting of the village and the conflict with development plan policies on sustainable location and settlement boundaries.
