Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The disconnected nature of the site parcels and their characteristics dictate that the site is unsuitable for the amount of development proposed, resulting in harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing benefits.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, being the significant and long-lasting harm from an unsuitable site layout, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of contributing one dwelling to housing supply in an area with good accessibility, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
