Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be a suitable location for housing, having regard to the effect on character, appearance and openness
- whether or not the site is in an accessible location relative to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative weight of conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy, poor accessibility requiring reliance on private cars, harm to countryside character and openness, and unacceptable highway safety risks outweighed the modest housing supply benefit even in the context of the Council's housing shortfall.
the identified harms arising from conflict with the spatial strategy, poor accessibility, adverse effects on character and appearance and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified benefits of three dwellings and economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
