Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The adverse impacts arising from inadequate accessibility to services and facilities, poor design quality, and incompatibility with the character of the area significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The social and economic benefits of 9 dwellings were outweighed by the adverse impacts of poor accessibility requiring reliance on private cars, failure to provide a range of transport modes, and failure to achieve good design standards, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
