Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for a dwelling, having particular regard to the local development plan
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and the Cotswolds National Landscape

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating a dwelling in an isolated countryside location outside defined settlements where services are not sustainably accessible, and it would harm the character and appearance of the rural area and National Landscape.
