Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be in a suitable location, with particular regard to the development strategy and accessibility to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The location of the proposed development outside the settlement boundary in open countryside with poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable transport modes significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply and wheelchair-accessible accommodation when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole.
The harm arising from the location of the development outside the settlement boundary and lack of accessibility to services and amenities for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply, wheelchair-accessible accommodation for the appellant's personal circumstances, and provision for elderly occupants, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
