Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for development having regard to the Council's spatial strategy, the vitality of the rural community and the accessibility of services and facilities
What decided it
The proposal would result in occupants being unduly reliant on private cars for basic services and facilities, conflicting with Framework paragraphs 83 and 109 on sustainable rural development, and this conflict significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply.
The benefits of housing supply and self-build provision (limited weight) were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of unsustainable location, reliance on private cars, and failure to enhance rural community vitality, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
Framework references: 11, 60, 63, 83, 109
