Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether having regard to the development plan and national planning policy, the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the area, caused by the proposal's incompatibility with the existing tight-knit settlement form and rural character, was the prevailing consideration that determined the appeal.

The modest benefits of housing supply and self-build provision were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and conflict with the spatial strategy and development plan
