Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the Council's supply of employment land

What decided it

The adverse impact on the Council's supply of rural employment land, which conflicts with development plan policies and Framework policies supporting a prosperous rural economy, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefit of delivering one dwelling.

The benefits of meeting housing need (limited weight for one dwelling) were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on the supply of rural employment land when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.
