Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location and with regard to access to services and facilities
What decided it
The appeal site's remote location in countryside with poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable transport modes, combined with the Council's ability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply, meant the proposal failed to accord with the development plan and Framework guidance on sustainable rural housing.
The limited benefits of one additional dwelling and its contribution to the local economy and social well-being did not outweigh the detriment resulting from the unsuitable location and reliance on private vehicles
