Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing with respect to the Council's spatial strategy and the accessibility of the site by sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The site's poor accessibility by sustainable modes of transport due to the condition of White Hart Lane and its location beyond the settlement boundary, contrary to the Council's spatial strategy and sustainable transport policies.
The modest contribution to housing supply and economic and social benefits from construction and occupation were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and sustainable transport policies.
