“longer-term support for local services, facilities and supply chains”

Summary

A single self-build house and garage to replace two small barns on a partly previously-developed plot outside Gringley-on-the-Hill. Dismissed after a hearing. None of S5(1)(c), (d) or (j) was met: not a like-for-like replacement, only part-PDL, and not physically well-related to the village. Car dependence along an unlit 60 mph lane and the house's scale in the rural setting substantially outweighed substantial weight to both general housing (4.15-yr supply) and a large self-build shortfall.

The location finding

  • TR3: harm. 60 mph unlit lane with no footways, uphill into village; bus not realistically usable; regular car trips for most needs (DL 18-21, 49)
