Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposed development would be acceptable with specific regard to the principle thereof, the Council's spatial strategy and access to services
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and the unsuitability of the location outside the settlement boundary with poor access to services and facilities significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery in the absence of a five-year supply.
The harm relating to location and character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of one dwelling, renewable energy provision, socio-economic benefits from construction and occupation, and biodiversity enhancements; the proposal does not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
