Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the site is suitable for residential land use, having regard to its location and its accordance with the spatial strategy of the development plan
What decided it
The site's location outside the limits of development, combined with the lack of safe and convenient sustainable transport connections to services, means it conflicts with the spatial strategy and sustainable travel policies of the development plan, and this conflict is not outweighed by the modest housing and self-build benefits of a small-scale scheme.
The adverse impacts on the district's housing strategy and of increasing travel by motor vehicles significantly and demonstrably outweigh the medium-weighted benefits of delivering 3-4 houses and self-build plots, when assessed against the Framework's key policies directing development to sustainable locations; the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
