Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for new housing having regard to the development strategy
  • Highway safety

What decided it

The site's location outside an identified settlement in a rural area with poor accessibility to services and facilities, contrary to the development strategy set out in Policies SP3, SP4, HO10 and HO11 of the Local Plan, was not outweighed by the modest benefits of the proposal.
