Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to local and national policy for the delivery of housing
What decided it
The appeal site's inaccessible location, separated from the settlement by open countryside and requiring reliance on private car use, means it is not a suitable location for new housing and the environmental harm from this outweighs the limited benefits even under the tilted balance.
The environmental harm from reliance on the private car due to the inaccessible location outweighs the limited social, economic and environmental benefits of one additional dwelling; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
Framework references: 80, 11
