Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the location for the proposed dwellings, having regard to development plan policies concerned with housing in the countryside; and whether future occupants would have adequate access to services and facilities without undue reliance on private vehicle use
What decided it
The site's adequate accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable modes, combined with the negligible traffic impact in the context of the adjacent larger development, means the proposal accords with the presumption in favour of sustainable development and the conflict with out-of-date development plan policies is outweighed.
The conflict with out-of-date Policies CS1, CS2 and H7 is outweighed by the material considerations of adequate sustainable accessibility to services and facilities, limited housing contribution, economic benefits, and negligible traffic impact, applying the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
