Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is suitably located having regard to its accessibility to services, facilities and public transport
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the setting of the adjacent listed building
- whether the proposed houses would be safe from flooding
What decided it
The development would not be appropriately located in respect of its accessibility to services, facilities and public transport, conflicting with Spatial Policy 3 of the Amended Core Strategy, and this conflict with the development plan as a whole could not be outweighed by the limited benefits identified.
The limited benefits of providing two additional housing units and visual improvement to the overgrown site were outweighed by the fundamental conflict with the development plan arising from poor accessibility to services, facilities and public transport.
