Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable site for housing with particular reference to its location and accessibility to local services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the residents of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal's location remote from services and facilities and poor accessibility by sustainable transport, requiring dependence on private cars, conflicts with the development plan's settlement hierarchy and sustainability requirements and cannot be outweighed by the limited benefits identified.
The benefits of limited economic activity and housing supply were outweighed by the significant harm arising from the unsustainable location and poor accessibility to services and facilities contrary to the development plan.
