Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan policies
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unsustainable location of the site, with South Duffield lacking services and sustainable transport access, combined with the proposal's conflict with the development plan and the localised harm to character and appearance, means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate housing supply benefits, even under the tilted balance.
the moderate benefits from housing supply contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm from unsustainable location, poor access to services and sustainable transport, and localised harm to character and appearance, resulting in dismissal despite the five-year housing land supply shortfall
