Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the location of the proposed dwelling
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance through extension of built form into open countryside, combined with the locational conflict with development plan policies, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of a single self-build dwelling.
The harm identified in respect of the main issues (locational conflict and character and appearance harm) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply, self-build provision, and sustainability measures, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
