Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development accords with the development plan strategy for housing and would be in a sustainable location

What decided it

The adverse impacts of locating an open market dwelling in an unsustainable location in the open countryside, contrary to the development plan strategy for housing, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing delivery and social/economic gains.

The modest benefits of housing delivery, quick delivery, and social and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm from conflict with development plan policies directing housing to sustainable locations with good access to services and facilities; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
