Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The site's poor locational sustainability, with very limited services and facilities and heavy reliance on private motor vehicles, meant that the harm in locational terms would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
the modest benefits of housing supply contribution, effective use of land, and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm arising from poor locational sustainability and conflict with development plan policies directing development to sustainable locations
Framework references: 11
