Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be consistent with development plan policies relating to housing in rural areas, including regarding its effect on the character and appearance of the countryside
  • whether the provision of biodiversity net gain is required and, if it is, whether this is suitably provided for
  • whether the proposed development would be at risk of flooding

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and the canal's setting, combined with the failure to secure biodiversity net gain provision, outweighed the limited benefits of the replacement dwelling.

The adverse impacts of granting permission, particularly the harm to character and appearance and failure to provide biodiversity net gain, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of improved energy efficiency, minor economic benefits during construction, and the unsecured self-build provision.
