Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location would be consistent with local and national policies relating to housing in rural areas, with particular regard to access to everyday facilities by a range of means of transport
- The effect on protected species
What decided it
The adverse impacts of developing in an unsustainable location with poor access to facilities and the failure to safeguard protected species significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefit of a single dwelling addition to housing supply.
The limited benefit of one dwelling to housing supply was substantially outweighed by the significant harm from an unsustainable location with poor access to everyday facilities and reliance on private car use, combined with failure to safeguard protected species.
