Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to local and national planning policies on the location of new housing
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposal—unsustainable location in open countryside, harmful effect on rural character and appearance, and conflict with multiple up-to-date development plan policies—significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The moderate benefits of housing supply, self-build and construction employment were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm arising from unsustainable location, conflict with development plan policies on countryside housing, and harmful impact on character and appearance, such that the tilted balance did not favour the proposal.
