Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to access to local services, facilities and public transport as well as relevant local and national planning policy
What decided it
The site's unsustainable location, with poor access to local services and facilities along safe routes and limited public transport, conflicts with the development plan and would result in reliance on private vehicles, which the significant benefits of the scheme do not outweigh.
the significant benefits of the scheme (housing, affordable housing, nursery, jobs, highway improvements, removal of bad neighbour) did not outweigh the harm arising from conflict with the development plan as a whole and the unsustainable location of the development
