Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, land use and amount of development
What decided it
The countryside location would necessitate increased private car use on narrow roads to access all shops and services, making the development unsustainable and causing adverse effects that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing benefits.
The significant weight given to the addition of 2 dwellings to the housing market and modest support for local services was outweighed by the adverse effects of the countryside location requiring car dependency, such that the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
