Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The principle of the proposed development with specific regard to its location
What decided it
The proposal would encourage unsustainable patterns of development by locating a new dwelling in the countryside detached from services and public transport, contrary to Policy H1 and the Framework's direction of development to sustainable locations.
The significant and enduring harm from unsustainable location and conflict with Framework policies substantially outweighed the limited benefits of a single dwelling unit with no affordable housing or additional benefits, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
Framework references: 84, 110, 11
Plan policies cited: Policy H1, Policy BE4
