Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for the proposed dwelling having regard to the development plan and the appeal site's proximity to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would introduce new housing into the countryside contrary to the development plan's planned distribution of development, and would cause harmful loss of privacy to existing occupiers through overlooking from rear roof windows.
