Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwelling would be in a suitable location having regard to the development plan policies concerned with the location of new housing
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of its surroundings with particular regard to its effect on the East Devon National Landscape
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of adjoining dwellings with particular regard to privacy, daylight and outlook
What decided it
The conflict with the development plan as a whole, particularly the harm to the East Devon National Landscape and the unsustainable location requiring car travel, outweighed the moderate benefit of delivering an additional energy-efficient dwelling.
The moderate benefit of delivering an additional energy-efficient home and moderate short-term economic and social benefits were outweighed by substantial weight given to conflict with development plan policies consistent with the Framework, particularly those protecting the National Landscape and promoting sustainable transport, resulting in dismissal.
