Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to its accessibility by means other than by private car
What decided it
The appeal site's poor accessibility by sustainable transport modes and its rural location, combined with the likely significant increase in private car movements and the absence of effective mitigation through a travel plan, meant the development conflicted with local plan policies ED1, ED2 and TRA1 and NPPF paragraph 109, with no material considerations outweighing this harm.
