Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing, having particular regard to the Council's development strategy and access to services, facilities and public transport options
- the effect of the amount of development proposed on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
What decided it
The harms resulting from the site's limited accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable modes and the harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the scheme when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.
The modest benefits of nine dwellings and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harms to sustainability of location and character and appearance, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
Framework references: 11, 83, 110, 115, 135, 187
