Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable site for housing, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of the development
What decided it
The site's location in open countryside outside the defined settlement boundary, combined with its poor accessibility and lack of services, means the modest housing benefit does not outweigh the significant and demonstrable harm to the countryside when assessed against Framework policies.
The modest contribution to local housing supply and social and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the lasting harm to the countryside and inefficient use of land in a sensitive rural environment where the spatial strategy seeks to promote sustainable growth
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 21, Policy 23, Policy SD1, Policy SD2, Policy C1
