Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for development with regard to the Council's spatial strategy and access to services, facilities and sustainable transport options
What decided it
The site's location outside the spatial strategy's designated settlements, combined with poor accessibility to services and facilities without reliance on private cars, means the proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy and NPPF paragraph 79, and the adverse impacts outweigh the housing supply benefits under the tilted balance.
The benefits of contributing two dwellings to housing supply and delivering economic benefits during construction were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of locating residential development in an unsustainable location contrary to the spatial strategy.
