Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether there is an essential need for a forestry workers dwelling, including its size and scale
What decided it

the adverse impacts of the proposed development, particularly the failure to demonstrate essential need and conflict with countryside restriction policies, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of economic growth and housing delivery
