Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal living space
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the countryside
- whether the site is a suitable site for housing having regard to the adopted spatial strategy, with particular regard to the extent to which the proposal would contribute to the objectives of limiting the need to travel and offering a genuine choice of transport modes
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would fall significantly short of the minimum space standards required by Policy DP27 and the Nationally Described Space Standards, providing unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers that outweigh the limited benefits of the scheme.
