Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for a dwelling with regard to the spatial strategy for the district
What decided it
The site's poor location relative to settlements and lack of sustainable transport links mean it would not accord with the spatial strategy policies of the development plan, and this locational harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefit of delivering one additional dwelling in a context of housing land supply shortfall.
The moderate benefit of delivering an additional dwelling in a context of housing shortfall was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of locating development contrary to the locational policies of the development plan and the Framework's key policies on sustainable development
