Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Cotswolds National Landscape
  • the effect of the proposal on non-designated heritage assets
  • the effect of the proposed development on trees
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for the disposal of foul and surface water
  • the effect of the proposed development on land stability

What decided it

The proposal's failure to conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the Cotswolds National Landscape, a matter to which great weight must be given, provides a strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework and outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.

The modest benefits of a single dwelling and limited economic benefits were outweighed by significant harms to the character and appearance of the area including the National Landscape, moderate to high harm to the setting of non-designated heritage assets, harm to trees, inadequate drainage provision, and unresolved land stability concerns.
