Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the location is suitable for new residential development, having regard to local and national policy for the provision of housing

What decided it

The significant weight of the conflict with the Council's housing strategy and countryside development policies substantially and demonstrably outweighs the limited weight of housing supply benefits, applying paragraph 11d)ii of the Framework.

The adverse impacts of granting permission—conflict with the development plan's settlement hierarchy and countryside protection policies—significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply contribution and self-build provision, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: CS Policy DMG2, CS Policy DMH3

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
