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 particular regard to the council's development strategy, the effect on the character and appearance of the area and accessibility to services and facilities for future occupants
What decided it
The appeal site does not represent an appropriate location for housing under the development strategy, and the adverse impacts of approving the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The moderate weight given to housing delivery and economic benefits was outweighed by the substantial weight attached to harm to the development strategy, rural character and increased reliance on private vehicles, resulting in the presumption in favour of sustainable development not applying.
