Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing, with particular regard to the local development strategy
What decided it
The appeal site does not benefit from reasonable access to local services and is not an appropriate location for housing with regard to the local development strategy, and the limited housing benefits do not outweigh this significant harm when the tilted balance is applied.
The limited benefits of providing housing and short-term construction industry benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm caused by conflict with the local development strategy requiring sustainable locations for development
