Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the principle of the development
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The building functions as an independent dwelling rather than an ancillary annexe, and as such conflicts with Policy SP3 of the WDLP by introducing new residential development in an unsustainable countryside location outside settlement boundaries.

applying Policy S5(4), the benefits of granting planning permission, being private benefit worthy of limited weight, would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects relating to principle and sustainability, contrary to Policy TR3 of the Framework
