Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the local area
- Whether the site is an appropriate location for new residential development having regard to access to services and facilities
What decided it
The significant harm to rural character and appearance combined with the lack of safe pedestrian access to services and facilities, making the site unsustainable, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of significant harm to rural character and appearance and lack of sustainable pedestrian access significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of a single dwelling when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole under paragraph 11(d)
Framework references: 11, 78
Plan policies cited: Policy GEN2, Policy S7, Policy GEN1
