Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for housing having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts of the proposal on the housing strategy and reliance on private transport in this unsustainable location significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling without affordable housing or secured self-build status.
The presumption in favour of sustainable development under NPPF paragraph 11(d) was engaged due to the lack of 5-year housing land supply, but the significant adverse impacts on housing strategy and reliance on private transport significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits, so the presumption did not apply.
