Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing, with particular regard to the local and national policy
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the rural character and appearance of the area and the unsustainable location, combined with only modest housing and custom-build benefits, means the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under paragraph 11d) of the Framework.

The adverse effects of the proposal on site location and rural character would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of custom-build housing delivery and economic benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
