Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, with particular reference to the accessibility of services and to the reliance on motor vehicles
- The effect of the proposed development upon housing mix
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents with regards to overlooking and loss of privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on Protected Habitats
What decided it
The appeal site's location in the countryside with poor accessibility to services and facilities without heavy reliance on private motor vehicles conflicts with the development plan's sustainability requirements and cannot be justified.
