Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the principle of the appeal proposal with respect to current adopted planning policy regarding the location of development
- the effect a new dwelling would have on the character and appearance of the site at the edge of Eastcott and on the surrounding rural area
- other material considerations in favour of the proposed development
What decided it
The planning objections with respect to the principle of development and its adverse effects on the character, appearance and distinctiveness of the locality remain the overriding considerations, outweighing the current lack of a five-year housing land supply.
Under the tilted balance of NPPF paragraph 11d, the modest socio-economic benefits of a new dwelling and the lack of five-year housing land supply were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and conflict with protective policies of the NPPF and development plan.
