Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposed houses is acceptable having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The fallback position of existing Class Q permissions allowing conversion to three dwellings, combined with the unsustainable location in open countryside requiring car dependency, outweighed the proposal's benefits of two dwellings and biodiversity net gain.
The adverse impacts of the unsustainable location and reduced housing contribution compared to the fallback position significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of two new dwellings, biodiversity net gain and improved design
