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 be in a sustainable location as future occupiers would be highly dependent on private cars, conflicting with the development plan strategy and Framework objectives to prioritise sustainable transport modes and direct housing to locations with good access to services and facilities.

The modest benefits of three new homes and economic contributions during construction were outweighed by the significant and demonstrable adverse impacts of locating market housing in the open countryside contrary to the development plan strategy and in an unsustainable location dependent on private car use.
