Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for residential development having regard to its location in relation to access to services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal would result in an unsustainable and inaccessible location for development, conflicting with the development plan and national policy in a manner that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of the proposal.

The modest benefits of housing delivery and a self-build property were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the unsustainable and inaccessible location, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Strategy 5BPolicy TC2
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
