Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing development, with particular regard to the reliance on the private car
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposed development—harm to character and appearance and reliance on the private car in an unsustainable location—significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The moderate benefits of five dwellings and some economic and community support were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by substantial harm to character and appearance and the unsustainable location with high reliance on the private car.
