- Inspector
- Major R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local policy
- whether the proposed development meets a locally identified housing need
- the effect of the proposed access on flood risk
- whether or not the proposal is required to provide affordable housing
What decided it
The appeal site is located outside the settlement boundary in an unsustainable location where future residents would be reliant on private cars to access services and facilities, and the proposal fails to demonstrate an identified local housing need that cannot be met within the settlement boundary.
