Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the local area of countryside
- Whether the location of the site would help achieve sustainable new development
What decided it
The conflict with the development plan's countryside protection strategy and the unsustainable location of the site, which would increase reliance on private car use, were not outweighed by the modest housing contribution and the Council's housing land supply shortfall.
The adverse impacts of harm to countryside character and unsustainable location significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of a small addition to housing land supply and the freeing up of the appellant's existing property.
