Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development, with particular regard to the development strategy for the area, the character of the area, and access to services and facilities
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area from development at depth in open countryside demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of eight dwellings and self-build housing provision.
The significant harm to character and appearance from the development significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision, such that the presumption in favour of development does not apply despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
