Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for housing having regard to policies for development in the countryside
What decided it
The Council's ability to demonstrate a four-year housing land supply means the tilted balance does not apply, and the modest harm from countryside encroachment and policy conflict outweighs the minor benefits of a single dwelling.
The modest harm to the countryside and conflict with development plan policies outweighed the minor benefits from housing supply contribution and proximity to local facilities and transport links
