Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether access to the appeal site from the public highway has been satisfactorily demonstrated
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to include the necessary access land within the red line boundary and demonstrate secure and deliverable access from the public highway to the proposed dwelling.
The benefits of delivering one additional dwelling and contributing to housing supply were outweighed by the significant harm arising from the failure to demonstrate safe and suitable access to the site, assessed against the Framework taken as a whole under the tilted balance.
