Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with regard to the local development strategy
What decided it
The site's location outside the defined settlement boundaries and lack of accessibility by sustainable transport modes, contrary to Policy COM2 and the local development strategy, could not be outweighed by the proposal's design quality and other benefits.
the significant weight given to outstanding design quality and self-build provision did not outweigh the harm resulting from the location of the proposal and conflict with the local development strategy
