Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is an appropriate location for a residential dwelling, with particular reference to accessibility of services and facilities
the effect of the proposal on character and appearance

What decided it

The site's location outside any settlement boundary in open countryside with poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable modes of transport, combined with harm to rural character, means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of two self-build dwellings.

The benefits of delivering two self-build dwellings and associated social and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts of locating development in an unsustainable location outside the settlement boundary with poor accessibility and harm to character and appearance.
