Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for a house having particular regard to accessibility

What decided it

The appeal site is not within the developed footprint of Horsington as required by Policy SP4, and its poor accessibility means future residents would be dependent on cars rather than having a genuine choice of transport modes, contrary to the development plan's locational strategy and NPPF paragraph 105.

The benefits of housing provision, economic benefits from construction and future residents' spending, and the use of previously developed land were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan's locational strategy and the absence of persuasive material considerations to justify departure from the plan.
