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

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: DM1DM3
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 119

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
