Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to relevant planning policies relating to the re-use of existing buildings in the countryside
What decided it
The proposal would result in an isolated dwelling in the countryside that would not re-use a redundant or disused building and would not enhance its immediate setting, contrary to Paragraph 84 c) of the Framework, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits even under the tilted balance.
The harm arising from the isolated countryside location and failure to meet Paragraph 84 c) of the Framework (significant weight) and conflict with Policies H12 and SP1 (limited weight) significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest social and economic benefits of one additional dwelling, previously developed land recycling, and temporary construction benefits (all limited weight), such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
