Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwelling would be in a suitable location with regard to the local and national development strategy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would not be in a suitable location with regard to the local and national development strategy, conflicting with Policies SP8 and SP2 of the Local Plan and Policy H1 of the Neighbourhood Plan, and the lack of any mechanism to secure it as a self-build dwelling meant it could not be justified as an exception to countryside development policy.
