Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing, with particular regard to the local development strategy

What decided it

The appeal site is located in open countryside outside any settlement and does not accord with the strategic housing location policies that restrict residential development to Local Centres, Rural Settlements, or Villages and Hamlets, and the Authority can demonstrate a five-year supply of housing sites.

The modest scale of the proposal, biodiversity benefits from woodland management, personal circumstances of the appellant, and provision of housing were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan and the Authority's ability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply.
