Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be suitably located having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of poor accessibility to services and facilities and significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply in the context of the Framework's emphasis on sustainable locations and well-designed places.
The moderate benefits of housing supply, self-build housing, efficient use of land and biodiversity enhancements were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of poor accessibility to services and facilities and significant harm to character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
