Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed, having regard to the development plan, the vitality of the rural community and the accessibility of day-to-day services

What decided it

The harm identified in respect of the main issue—the unsuitability of the location having regard to the development plan, rural community vitality and accessibility of day-to-day services—significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of the proposal, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.

The significant conflict with CS Policies SS1 and SS2 and the unsustainable location outweighed the modest contribution to housing supply, social and economic benefits, and self-build status, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
