Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy, the accessibility to services and facilities, and the character of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with Policy SWDP 2 of the development plan by locating a residential dwelling outside the settlement boundary in countryside where such development is not specifically permitted, and the adverse impacts of unsustainable location and reliance on private vehicles significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits.
the conflict with Policy SWDP 2 (significant weight) and adverse environmental and social impacts of unsustainable location and private vehicle reliance (significant weight) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing supply and economic benefits (limited weight), such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
