Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing with particular regard to its accessibility to local services
- the effect of the proposed access on highway safety, with specific reference to visibility at the junction with the public highway
What decided it
The combination of poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable modes and undemonstrated highway safety at the access, which together significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing supply shortfall and other benefits.
The adverse impacts of unsustainable location and highway safety harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of one additional housing unit and limited economic advantages, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
