Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the accessibility of the appeal site to services and facilities and whether the occupants of the dwellings would be dependent on private vehicles
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the occupants of the dwellings to the south and west
  • the living conditions of the intended occupants in terms of road noise
  • the effect of the proposal on the setting of the non designated heritage asset, Everstone Farm

What decided it

The proposal's location remote from everyday facilities would result in significant car dependency generating carbon emissions and harm to neighbouring living conditions, and these conflicts with the development plan were not outweighed by the housing land supply shortfall and affordable housing benefits.

The housing land supply shortfall and affordable housing benefits were outweighed by the conflicts with development plan policies on location, countryside protection and living conditions, and the environmental harm from car dependency and landscape impact.
