Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to local and national policy, and accessibility to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of unsuitable location and unacceptable harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and associated social and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm from locating development in an unsustainable, isolated location contrary to Policies SS1, SS6, CN9, EM1 and EM10 and paragraphs 83, 84, 110, 115 and 135 of the Framework.
Framework references: 11, 61, 73, 83, 84, 110, 115, 135
Plan policies cited: Policy SS1, Policy SS6, Policy CN9, Policy EM1, Policy EM10
Judgments cited: Braintree DC v SSCLG, Greyread Ltd & Granville Developments Ltd [2018] EWCA Civ 610; City and Country Bramshill Ltd v SSHLG and others [2021] EWCA Civ 320
