Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal scheme is capable of achieving acceptable living conditions for its occupants, with particular regard to access to private outside space
  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of the occupants of Elm Tree Farm, with particular regard to privacy
  • whether the appeal site's location in open countryside is acceptable, having regard to the Council's development strategy

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the privacy of neighbouring occupants at Elm Tree Farm, combined with the conflict with the development plan's strategy to direct development to existing settlements, outweighs the modest housing benefit in circumstances where the Council has well in excess of a five-year supply.

The modest benefit of adding a single dwelling to housing land supply was outweighed by the unacceptable harm to neighbouring privacy and the conflict with the Council's development strategy directing development to existing settlements, particularly given the Council's substantial five-year housing land supply.
