Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The adverse impacts arising from the development in terms of its location and harm to the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate weight attributed to the housing supply benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.

The provision of up to four dwellings and associated economic benefits were afforded moderate weight in favour of the development, but the adverse impacts from unsustainable location and harm to rural character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed these benefits; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy SWDP2, Policy SWDP4, Policy SWDP1, Policy SWDP21, Policy SWDP25
