Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the location for housing, having regard to the Council's spatial strategy, the Framework and accessibility to services and facilities
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the development—unsustainable location with high car reliance and material harm to character and appearance—significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
the adverse impacts of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when considered against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, so the proposal does not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development
Framework references: 49, 110, 11
