Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would accord with the spatial strategy of the Development Plan for the distribution of housing
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Cotswolds National Landscape
the effect of the proposal on designated heritage assets

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the spatial strategy of the Development Plan, combined with the less-than-substantial but uncompensated harm to the character and appearance of the National Landscape and the setting of designated heritage assets, outweighed the limited public benefits of a single self-build dwelling.
