Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be suitably located, having regard to access to local services and facilities as well as relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character of the historic landscape

What decided it

The proposal's location in unsustainable countryside outside settlement limits combined with its unacceptable adverse effect on the character of the valued historic landscape means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.

The adverse impacts of unsustainable location and harm to the historic landscape significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of self-build housing delivery, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply and the proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole.
