Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with regard to the local and national development strategy and accessibility to services and facilities

What decided it

The site's location in the countryside where development is strictly controlled under the Local Plan, combined with poor accessibility to services and facilities that would necessitate reliance on private motor vehicles, conflicts with the local and national development strategy.

The modest benefits of housing supply, self-build provision, and environmental and economic benefits were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and the poor accessibility of the location
