Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development plan and other material considerations
What decided it
The proposal would create an isolated form of development contrary to paragraph 80 of the Framework, and the modest housing benefits do not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the adverse impacts of poor access to services and facilities and unsustainable patterns of growth.
The modest benefits of a single dwelling and limited economic benefits were outweighed by the harm arising from poor access to services and facilities and the conflict with sustainable development objectives, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
