Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The lack of safe and sustainable access to the site, particularly the absence of a continuous footway along Thorrington Road and the high-speed traffic environment, means the proposal would not be in a suitable location for housing and would conflict with development plan policies and national guidance on sustainable locations.
The adverse impact related to the location of the development significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of providing one residential unit and addressing the housing land supply shortfall, such that permission should not be granted under paragraph 11d(ii) of the Framework.
