Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site represents an appropriate location for housing, having regard to the relevant local and national planning policy for the delivery of housing

What decided it

The site does not represent an appropriate location for housing because it would result in unsustainable travel patterns due to distance from services and facilities and lack of viable sustainable transport options, contrary to the development plan and Framework.

The limited benefits of providing a new home and a smaller dwelling for current occupiers do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan and the unsustainability of the location.
