Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be acceptable at this site, having regard to locational policy, and if conflict is found, whether personal circumstances outweigh this policy conflict
- The effect of the proposal on the character of the appeal property
What decided it
The development would conflict with locational policy by introducing a building capable of functioning as a separate dwelling in open countryside outside the settlement, and this policy conflict is not outweighed by the social benefits or equality considerations, as alternative accommodation options are available.
