Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for housing with regard to the local development strategy and accessibility to services and facilities
What decided it
The proposed development would not be in a suitable location for housing with regard to accessibility to services and facilities, would not be secured as self or custom build dwellings, and would conflict with the development plan policies limiting development in the countryside outside specified circumstances.
the material considerations advanced by the appellants, including housing delivery and environmental benefits, do not outweigh the substantial weight given to the conflicts with the development plan
