Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the landscape character of the area
  • whether the proposed development would be sited in an appropriate location

What decided it

The site's inherent poor accessibility and highly isolated location, requiring reliance on private vehicle use to access essential services and facilities, conflicts with national policy TR3 on sustainable transport patterns and outweighs the limited benefits of the proposal.

The benefits of housing delivery and visual improvement to the site were outweighed by the substantial harm arising from the site's poor accessibility, isolation and conflict with sustainable transport policy, despite the proposal meeting the limited infilling criterion under Policy S5(e) of the Framework.
