Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to policies concerned with the location of housing
  • the accessibility to services and facilities

What decided it

The development's location outside the settlement boundary, separated from Beaumont by considerable distance and open countryside, combined with poor accessibility to services and facilities requiring significant vehicular travel, conflicts fundamentally with the development plan's strategy to direct housing to sustainable locations and outweighs the limited benefits of self-build provision.

the harm from locational conflict with the development plan and sustainability objectives significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of self-build provision and efficient use of previously developed land
