Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for housing having regard to the development plan and national policy
What decided it
The lack of safe and suitable walking and cycling routes to facilities by sustainable modes would result in future residents relying on private motor cars, significantly reducing sustainable journeys and conflicting with the development plan's spatial strategy and sustainability objectives.
The limited benefits of housing supply, economic activity and ecological enhancements were outweighed by the significant environmental and social harms arising from poor accessibility to facilities by sustainable transport modes and conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
