Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the dwelling proposed would be appropriate in this location, with particular regard to accessibility to regularly required services.

What decided it

The dwelling's poor accessibility to regularly required services other than by frequent private car journeys, in conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and the Framework's aim of sustainable development, outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply and self-build provision.

The modest benefits of housing supply, self-build provision and local economic benefit were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm arising from conflict with development plan policy restricting housing in the countryside due to poor service accessibility and car dependency.
