Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for residential development having regard to national planning policies and the Council's development strategy for the area, and accessibility to services and reliance on the private car
What decided it
The site's location outside the development boundary in open countryside with poor accessibility to services and facilities and reliance on the private car would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing supply benefits under the tilted balance.
the significant contribution to housing supply and modest socio-economic benefits were outweighed by the adverse impacts of promoting unsustainable patterns of development and undue reliance on the private car
