Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, taking account of its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The erosion of the space between existing dwellings and the perception of transition from built-up area to countryside would result in clear and obvious visual harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of a single self-build dwelling.

The benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision, afforded increased weight due to the housing land supply shortfall, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance.
