Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have reasonable access to local shops and services by means other than the private car
What decided it
The occupiers would have unacceptably poor access to local shops and services by sustainable modes, being reliant on the private car, contrary to policies promoting sustainable transport and reasonable access for all users.
The harm identified in the main issue (unacceptable reliance on private car for access to local shops and services) would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of a new dwelling and construction jobs, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
