Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed dwellings, having regard to the council's spatial strategy and access to services and facilities on foot
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The absence of a safe, attractive pedestrian route from the site to services and facilities in Fareham, which conflicted with the development plan and the Framework and was not outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery.

The significant harm arising from the lack of safe and suitable pedestrian access to services and facilities significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of the housing and affordable housing delivery, even applying the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
