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, with specific reference to access to services and facilities
What decided it
The site's location outside any defined settlement and lack of safe, convenient access to services and facilities by means other than private car, combined with the conflict with the development plan's strategy to manage growth sustainably, outweigh the benefits of housing supply.
The minor benefits of one additional dwelling and short-term economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm from conflict with sustainable transport policies and the development plan's growth management strategy; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
