Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Relevant policies for the location of housing in line with the Council's spatial strategy and its accessibility to services and/or facilities
- Effect on the character and appearance of the local area
- Does the proposal provide Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
What decided it
The failure to provide the necessary biodiversity net gain information and the lack of safe pedestrian access to services via dedicated footpaths, which together significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling.
The adverse impacts of the lack of biodiversity net gain and lack of safe pedestrian access to services significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling in supporting rural services and limited economic benefits during construction.
