Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location is suitable for new residential development, having regard to local and national policies for housing
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan by locating new residential development outside the settlement boundary without a proven need, and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, with the adverse impacts substantially outweighing the limited benefits.
The significant harm to rural character and appearance and the conflict with housing location policies substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited economic and social benefits of one dwelling and renewable energy features, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
