Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed dwelling would be a suitable location for housing, having regard to the Council's strategy for the location of development

What decided it

The appeal site's location would undermine the Council's strategy for directing development to sustainable locations by encouraging reliance on private vehicles, and this conflict with Policies ESD1 and Villages 1 significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing supply benefit of a single dwelling under the tilted balance.

the adverse impacts on the Council's development strategy and of increasing travel by private vehicle significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply contribution and economic uplift, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply

Framework references: 11, 225

Plan policies cited: Policy ESD1, Policy Villages 1
