Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing having particular regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to overlooking
- whether appropriate measures to mitigate against overheating and carbon dioxide emissions are proposed
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting harm from lack of access to services by sustainable choice of travel demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of six additional dwellings and limited economic benefits were outweighed by the significant and long-lasting harm from unsustainable location and lack of sustainable transport access.
