Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be consistent with local and national policies relating to the location of new housing development and access to facilities and services
the effect of the proposal upon highway safety

What decided it

The proposal's poor accessibility to services and facilities combined with the inability to achieve safe visibility splays at the proposed access meant it conflicted with development plan policies and the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.

the adverse impacts of poor location and highway safety harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest contribution to housing supply and economic benefits, with the material considerations indicating determination in accordance with the development plan

Plan policies cited: Policy GC2, Policy GC4, Policy TS3, DPD Policy 2, DPD Policy 4, JCS Policy 1, JCS Policy 6, Great Plumstead, Little Plumstead and Thorpe End Garden Village Neighbourhood Plan 2014 Policy 4

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
