Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute a separate unit of residential accommodation
- The appropriateness of the proposed development having regard to the spatial strategy for the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the design
- The effect on living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development having regard to the size of the proposed accommodation and availability of outdoor amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on highways safety
What decided it
The proposal constitutes a separate dwelling in open countryside that conflicts with the spatial strategy and would cause substantial harm to character and appearance, highway safety, and living conditions, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh these conflicts.
