Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on views of heritage assets
  • the scale of the development in relation to the size of the village
  • whether the development would be suitably located for access to local facilities
  • whether any adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the development's benefits, when assessed against the policies of the NPPF as a whole

What decided it

The location of the site outside the existing settlement, combined with its poor accessibility to local facilities and services, creates substantial adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery.

the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the adverse impacts arising from conflicts with NPPF policies on rural housing, sustainable locations, and countryside protection
