Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site represents a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to access to services and facilities
What decided it
The moderate adverse environmental and social effects of the proposed development with regard to the accessibility of services and facilities would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the NPPF taken as a whole.
The modest benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits, and environmental sustainability measures were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate adverse environmental and social effects arising from poor accessibility to services and facilities, despite the engagement of the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11 due to the lack of five-year housing land supply.
