Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development accords with the development plan strategy for housing and would be in a sustainable location
What decided it
The proposal would not constitute genuine affordable housing meeting local need and would not be in a sustainable location with adequate access to services and facilities, such that the modest benefits of housing supply are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts when assessed against Framework policies taken as a whole.
The modest benefits of housing supply and efficient use of land were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the conflict with development plan policies on rural housing location and sustainability, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy CS1, Policy CS5, Policy MD1, Policy MD7(a), Policy S11.2(vii), Policy HOU1
