Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the principle of the proposed development with specific regard to access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the wider area
- the effect of the proposals on the integrity of the SPA
What decided it
The appeal site is not well located in terms of accessibility to local services and facilities, and would not encourage residents to reduce their reliance on private motor vehicles, contrary to the Framework's approach to sustainable locations and transport.
The substantial harm from locating the development in an unsustainable location, requiring heavy reliance on private motor vehicles, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply contribution and small-scale economic benefit during construction.
What the Inspector cited

- Policy SP1Policy DM2Policy DM12
