Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local and national planning policy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the openness of the countryside and landscape character
- whether sufficient information has been submitted to assess the effect of the proposed development on the ecology and biodiversity of the site
What decided it
The site's unsuitable location outside the settlement boundary in a Category 5 location, combined with significant harm to character, appearance and openness of the countryside, outweighed the moderate benefit of providing one additional dwelling.
