Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the rural area
  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to the development plan
  • whether the proposal would have suitable, sustainable access to services and facilities
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the rural area, combined with the unsustainable location lacking suitable access to services and facilities, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefits when assessed against the Framework.

The modest boost in housing supply and economic benefits of temporary construction jobs weighed considerably in favour, but the totality of harms—demonstrable harm to character and appearance, unsustainable location without suitable access to services and facilities, and unsecured self-build housing—attracted significant weight and outweighed the benefits.
