Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The suitability of the site for housing with particular regard to its accessibility to local shops, services and facilities
  • The effect of the proposal on trees
  • The effect of the proposal on ecology and protected species
  • Foul drainage

What decided it

The proposal's location in the countryside away from settlements, combined with insufficient information on protected species impacts and likely pressure to remove trees that contribute to local character, means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of one additional dwelling.

The benefits of housing supply and economic contributions were outweighed by the harm from development in an unsustainable isolated location, insufficient information on protected species, and likely pressure to fell or lop trees that positively contribute to character and appearance.
