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 housing
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with development plan policies on location of housing in the open countryside and would cause significant harm to character and appearance that outweighs the limited housing benefits, particularly given the poor sustainability of the location.
The limited benefits of one residential unit and short-term construction employment were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to rural character, appearance, and sustainability, with the development plan policies accorded significant weight as they remain consistent with the NPPF
