Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policy
- whether the need for the proposed development outweighs any harm identified in respect of the above issues
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the spatial strategy by locating an isolated dwelling in the countryside, and the legitimate planning aims to retain local character and site development sustainably could only be safeguarded by dismissal.
