Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing with regard to local and national policies

What decided it

The site's location in the countryside outside designated settlement boundaries, combined with its unsustainable access to services and facilities due to the nature of Netherton Lane, means the proposal is contrary to the development plan's spatial housing strategy and cannot be justified despite the appellant's personal circumstances.

Plan policies cited: Core Strategy Policy CS1, Core Strategy Policy CS3, Core Strategy Policy CS4, Core Strategy Policy CS5, Core Strategy Policy CS6, SAMdev Policy MD1, SAMdev Policy MD2, SAMdev Policy MD3, SAMdev Policy MD7a
