Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing, having regard to the spatial strategy for the area

What decided it

The harmful effect on character and appearance combined with the site's location outside the built-up settlement pattern and failure to meet the spatial strategy policies SP3 and SP4 outweighed the benefit of providing one additional dwelling.

The provision of one dwelling and boost to housing delivery were weighed against the harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan; the harm and policy conflict outweighed the housing benefit.
