Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed houses would be in a suitable location for new residential development, having particular regard to the development strategy for the area and the accessibility of services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the rural landscape and open countryside
What decided it
The adverse impacts of two isolated dwellings increasing travel by private vehicles and causing harm to the open rural character significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of two isolated dwellings, increased private vehicle travel, and harm to the open rural character significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery, such that the presumption in favour of development does not apply.
