Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site would be in a suitable location for new housing
  • the effect of the proposed development on ecology and biodiversity
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the Council can demonstrate the required supply of housing sites

What decided it

The site's location outside the settlement boundary and failure to meet the accessibility requirements for self-build housing under Policy LP7, combined with insufficient ecological information to rule out significant biodiversity harm, rendered the proposal fundamentally incompatible with the development plan.

the modest benefits of delivering a single self-build dwelling and limited economic and environmental benefits were substantially outweighed by the fundamental conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan and the significant concern about potential unmitigated harm to biodiversity
