Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is in a suitable location for housing, considering the local development strategy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposal's unsustainable location and harm to rural character significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply, even under the tilted balance triggered by the shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The moderate benefits of housing supply and environmental benefits were outweighed by the significant adverse environmental and social impacts arising from limited access to public services and reliance on private vehicle use, and the moderate harm to rural character and appearance.
