Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is in a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to accessibility to local facilities and sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The lack of suitable access to facilities via walking, cycling and public transport, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of the proposal when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
Under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework, the adverse impacts of poor accessibility and lack of sustainable transport modes significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing supply and self-build provision, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
Framework references: 11, 110, 115, 125
