Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the principle of the proposal with specific regard to its location
- its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal is located outside the settlement boundary in the countryside where new housing is restricted by the development plan, and it would unacceptably erode the rural character and appearance of the area by extending built form into open countryside.
The limited housing benefit of a single dwelling was insufficient to outweigh the clear harm to character and appearance and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy for directing development to settlements.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 3Policy 5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
