Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location
What decided it
The unsustainable location with limited access to sustainable transport options and reliance on private vehicles for day-to-day needs conflicts with development plan policies on sustainable location and outweighs the housing delivery benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The housing delivery benefits and contribution to the local economy were given significant weight, but the adverse impacts of locating development in an unsustainable location with heavy reliance on private vehicles attracted greater significant weight that outweighed the benefits
