Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on trees, and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Linthwaite Conservation Area

What decided it

The moderate harm to the character and appearance of the Linthwaite Conservation Area, comprising the loss of open space and established trees, was not outweighed by the limited contribution to housing supply from a single dwelling.

the benefits of the proposal, comprising a limited contribution to housing supply and potential self-build housing, would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of harm to the character and appearance of the area and the conservation area, when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework
