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
What decided it
The site is not sustainably located and lies outside any settlement, with future occupiers heavily reliant on private vehicles, and the modest benefits of two dwellings do not substantially outweigh the harm from conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and sustainable transport policies.
The modest benefits of delivering two dwellings and associated economic and social benefits do not substantially outweigh the substantial harm from conflict with sustainable transport policy and the moderate harm from conflict with spatial location policies, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
