Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for housing, with specific regard to accessibility to services and facilities and the settlement policies of Wokingham Core Strategy 2010 and the Wokingham Adopted Managing Development Delivery Local Plan 2014
What decided it
The lack of pedestrian footways and lighting on Blagrove Lane would make the site unsuitable for housing as future occupants would be unable to safely access services, facilities and public transport without relying heavily on private vehicles, contrary to settlement and accessibility policies.
