What decided it
The adverse impacts of introducing new housing in an isolated, unsustainable location that would harm rural character and encourage car-dependent development significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of one dwelling, even in the context of a housing supply shortfall.
The significant and enduring harm to character and appearance of the rural area and the encouragement of unsustainable patterns of development substantially outweigh the limited benefits of one dwelling and associated temporary economic activity, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
