Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is suitable for residential development having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development, in particular with regard to its access to facilities and services, as well as the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary in open countryside without demonstrated local community need, combined with the material harm to the character and appearance of the rural landscape, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of a single dwelling.
