Why it was refused

  1. The site is located outside of the defined settlement boundary and is within the open countryside. The site is not allocated for housing development and the proposal amounts to new residential development in the open countryside that is not related to the essential need of agriculture, forestry or other rural based enterprise. The proposal is therefore contrary to Wiltshire Core Strategy Core Policies 1, 2, 11, 60 and 61 (WCS) and Saved Local Plan Policy H4 (NWLP) and paragraphs 2, 8, 11, 12, 48, 84 and 115 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
