Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site would be a suitable location for housing, having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities and the provisions of the development plan
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary, combined with its unsuitability as a location for housing due to poor accessibility to services and facilities via sustainable modes and the harm to character and appearance through ribbon development, outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic/social benefits.
The planning harm from unsuitability of location for housing, which attracts considerable weight, outweighed the limited weight given to housing delivery and economic and social benefits, and the neutral weight of other matters, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole
