Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The substantial and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the strategic gap caused by introducing a dwelling that would unacceptably intrude into the rural area outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling.

The significant and long-lasting harm to character and appearance, given substantial weight, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing provision and economic/social effects from a single dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
