Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for additional housing having particular regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting harm arising from the lack of access to services by a sustainable choice of travel demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of three additional dwellings when assessed against the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance.
The net addition of three dwellings and family-sized accommodation providing social benefit, together with limited economic benefits during construction and occupation, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant and long-lasting harm from lack of sustainable access to services and facilities
What the Inspector cited

- CP1DM1DM11SP4T11
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 80Paragraph 105Paragraph 79Paragraph 11
