Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location

What decided it

The location of the proposal would extend built form beyond the built-up limits of a category C village contrary to the development plan hierarchy, would result in future occupants being largely dependent on private car travel, and would undermine the Council's plan-led approach to housing delivery, with these conflicts outweighing the modest benefits of providing 2-3 dwellings.
