Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area and the accessibility of services and facilities
What decided it
The site's unsustainable location, requiring heavy reliance on private vehicles with limited access to services and facilities by sustainable modes, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefit of a single dwelling.
Significant weight to limited housing benefits and economic benefits of one dwelling was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by significant weight to adverse environmental and social impacts of the unsustainable location and lack of sustainable transport access to services and facilities.
