Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for residential development with regard to the local development strategy and accessibility to services and facilities by means other than the private car

What decided it

The site's unsuitability for residential development due to insufficient accessibility to services and facilities by means other than the private car, combined with the conflict with the development plan's countryside protection and sustainable travel policies, outweighs the modest housing supply benefit even under the tilted balance.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising conflict with development plan policies on countryside protection and sustainable travel patterns, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of a single dwelling's contribution to housing supply and rural economic support, such that the proposal does not represent sustainable development.
