Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The poor accessibility to services and facilities, particularly the lack of safe and convenient pedestrian access, which conflicts with the Council's strategy for locating residential development and cannot be outweighed by the moderate benefits of providing a self-build dwelling.
