Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is in a suitable location for a dwelling, having regard to local policy for the provision of housing and access to services and facilities
  • The effect of the proposal on European Protected Sites

What decided it

The importance of sustainable access to services and facilities and the avoidance of isolated homes in the countryside outweighs the provision of an extra windfall self-build unit in this location.

the benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision were outweighed by the significant harm from car dependency and conflict with the spatial strategy seeking development in locations with access to services and facilities
