Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be suitably located having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Heddings Farmhouse
What decided it
The proposal would not be suitably located having regard to accessibility of services and facilities, and the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The modest housing supply contribution and economic benefits of moderate weight were outweighed by the significant adverse impact of poor locational sustainability and reliance on private vehicles, contrary to Framework policies on sustainable development and sustainable transport.
