Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be appropriately located having regard to the Council's development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether adequate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers with regard to sunlight and daylight
- biodiversity
What decided it
The cumulative weight of harm from inappropriate location in open countryside, character and appearance impact, inadequate living conditions due to tree proximity, and failure to achieve biodiversity net gain outweighed the benefits of the scheme.
