Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development with particular regard to the effect the development would have on the rural characteristics of the site and the surrounding area
What decided it
The location is not acceptable in-principle and the significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside from the intrusion of residential development into undeveloped countryside significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
The benefits of delivering an additional dwelling and self-build housing, together with limited economic benefits, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the considerable weight attached to policy conflict and the significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside arising from an unacceptable location in-principle
