Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development plan and other material considerations
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside
- the effect of the proposed access arrangement on the safety of those using the highway
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as it is located outside the development boundary in countryside where no policy exceptions apply, and would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance through its isolated and visually prominent location.
Framework references: 84, 115
