Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for the proposal with regards to the Council's spatial strategy for the area
- whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for the proposal with regards to its accessibility to services and facilities
- whether any adverse impacts of the proposal would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, having particular regard to key policies for directing development to sustainable locations, making effective use of land, securing well-designed places and providing affordable homes, individually or in combination
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts arising from the proposal's conflict with the spatial strategy and sustainable transport policies substantially and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery in a location that would be isolated from settlements and dependent on private car use.
