Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing having regard to development plan policy and accessibility to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety and is located in an unsuitable location for housing contrary to the development plan, and these adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of unsuitability for housing and unacceptable highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling, economic and social benefits during construction and occupation, and potential biodiversity net gain, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
