Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a dwelling, having regard to the access of future occupiers to services and facilities and the policies and local planning policies
What decided it
The adverse impacts of a dwelling in an unsuitable location, contrary to Policies SD1, SS1 and SS2, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the minor benefits of one dwelling even in the context of a shortfall in housing land supply.
The conflict with development plan policies was given significant weight; the benefits of one dwelling and housing land supply shortfall were given minor weight; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy SS2, Policy SD1, Policy SS1
