Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing, with particular reference to reliance on the private car
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the site's accessibility to services and facilities via sustainable transport modes and the delivery of self-build housing, outweighed the conflict with the development plan's location strategy.
