Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is an appropriate location for a new dwelling, having regard to accessibility to everyday local facilities and services by a range of modes of transport
What decided it
The significant harm caused by locating the development in an unsustainable location with poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable transport modes significantly and demonstrably outweighs the minor benefits of delivering a single additional home, even under the tilted balance.
The significant harm to the Council's spatial strategy and sustainable transport objectives significantly and demonstrably outweighed the minor benefits of housing supply and community vitality, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
