Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, with particular regard to the level of access to services and facilities
What decided it
The poor accessibility of the site to services and facilities, requiring future occupiers to be heavily dependent on private motorised transport, constitutes substantial harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of the development.
The substantial harm from poor access to services and facilities significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of providing an additional dwelling and limited economic support, assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
