Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development, having regard to local and national policy
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the existing and future occupants with particular regard to providing appropriate internal living conditions

What decided it

The development fails to accord with the development plan on three independent grounds—lack of functional need for a rural dwelling, harm to character and appearance of the open countryside, and failure to meet internal space standards—and the material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.

Plan policies cited: Policy PG6, Policy RUR3, Policy SC6, Policy SD2, Policy SE1, Policy GEN1, Policy HOU8
