Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for new residential development having regard to the development plan, access to local services and facilities and its location in the Undeveloped Coast and Heritage Coast
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the SDNL, Undeveloped Coast and Heritage Coast
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • whether the proposal would include appropriate measures to meet carbon reduction objectives

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan policies protecting countryside, undeveloped coast and heritage coast designations, and harms character and appearance and highway safety, with these adverse impacts outweighing the material consideration of the previous barn conversion permission and the scheme's limited benefits.
