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.

the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy was outweighed by the significant benefits of boosting housing supply, the delivery of self-build and custom-build housing, economic benefits, and the site's accessibility to services and facilities via sustainable transport options
