Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is in an appropriate location, with particular regard to the adopted development plan settlement hierarchy and access to shops, services, community facilities and transport choices other than the private car
What decided it
The appeal site's location in open countryside with poor access to services and facilities and heavy reliance on private car use is inappropriate for residential development and conflicts with both the development plan and the Framework's sustainability objectives.
the very limited benefits of a single dwelling (housing supply contribution, economic and social benefits, and potential biodiversity improvements) were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of the scheme's unsustainable location when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole
