Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for a new dwelling
What decided it
The proposed development would not be in a suitable location for a new dwelling as it would be located outside defined development limits in countryside and would result in occupiers being heavily reliant on private vehicles, contrary to the development plan and paragraph 79 of the NPPF.
The limited benefits of the single dwelling (economic benefit through construction, social benefit through community participation, and contribution to housing need) were not sufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan when read as a whole.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS2Policy GSP1Policy H5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 80Paragraph 75Paragraph 79
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
