Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policy

What decided it

The appeal site is not in a sustainable location because future occupants would be reliant on private vehicle use to meet their basic daily needs, contrary to the development plan and national policy promoting sustainable development in rural areas.

The limited benefits of the proposal, comprising a single dwelling, limited support for local services, and personal circumstances, do not justify development on a site found unsuitable and in conflict with local and national policies.
