Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there is justification for the proposed dwelling

What decided it

The appeal site forms part of an existing hamlet settlement rather than open countryside, and the proposed dwelling is not isolated, therefore Policy HOU 8 does not apply and the development is justified.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy HOU 8Policy HOU 2Policy STP 1(1f)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 84

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
