Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the spatial strategy for the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the weight to give to the benefit of the proposed development as a unit of SBCH, including with regard to demand and supply

What decided it

The substantial harm from the countryside location conflicting with the spatial strategy and the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area outweighed the substantial benefit of meeting unmet self-build demand.

The substantial harm from conflict with the spatial strategy and the significant harm to character and appearance outweighed the substantial weight given to the SBCH benefit and the minor weight given to the prestige home, environmental and general social/economic benefits, so the appeal was dismissed.
