Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to the Council's strategy for the location of new development and the accessibility of the site to services and facilities

What decided it

The site's poor accessibility to services and facilities and the resultant over-reliance on private motor vehicles, combined with the absence of overriding benefits, means the development conflicts with the development plan's strategy for locating new development in sustainable locations.

The limited economic benefits of the development were afforded moderate weight but did not outweigh the harm caused by poor access to services and facilities and over-reliance on the private motor vehicle.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy DM1.3Policy DM2.12Policy DM2.9Policy DM2.10Policy 6
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 9
