Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be suitably located, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan and access to services and sustainable transport
- whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's location outside any defined settlement boundary in countryside, combined with unsustainable access to services and the absence of a mechanism to secure self-build delivery, means the conflict with the development plan significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of one additional dwelling.
the modest benefits of one additional dwelling, including efficient use of land, housing choice, construction employment and local spending, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm resulting from conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy directing development to sustainable locations
