Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposal would be acceptable having regard to the development plan and the character and appearance of the area
- the benefits of a self-build dwelling on the site
What decided it
The conflict with locational policies S/7, HQ/1 and NH/2 and the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, which could not be outweighed by the benefits of a self-build dwelling given the Council's adequate housing land supply and declining self-build demand.
the legislative requirement for additional self-build plots in the district as a whole did not outweigh the conflict with the locational policies of the development plan and the harm caused to the character and appearance of the area
Plan policies cited: Policy S/7, Policy H/9, Policy HQ/1, Policy NH/2, Policy H/16, Policy H/14
