Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the erection of the dwellinghouse is appropriate to the countryside location having regard to the development plan's development strategy.
- Its effect on the open and rural character of the countryside.
- Whether there is safe and adequate vehicular, cycle and pedestrian access to and from the dwellinghouse.
What decided it
The dwellinghouse's conflict with the countryside development strategy combined with its unsustainable, inadequate access was decisive in refusing the deemed planning application.
the benefit of the dwellinghouse facilitating care for the appellant's parents did not outweigh the harm arising from its conflict with the countryside development strategy and its unsustainable access
