Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether a suitable location for development having regard to local and national planning policies
What decided it
The proposal fails to satisfy Policy S5(c) of the Framework because insufficient evidence demonstrates the building is lawful in planning terms, and therefore does not comprise one of the limited forms of development appropriate outside settlements.
The limited positive contribution to housing land supply and the appellant's personal desire for a dwelling do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan and the Framework.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1Policy 23
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
