Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location, the proposed land use and the amount of development would be suitable for residential development, having regard to the development plan strategy for housing and access to services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal does not represent a suitable location for housing having regard to the development plan's spatial strategy and would result in future occupiers being highly dependent on private cars, which would not prioritise sustainable transport modes, and these adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery.

The benefits of housing delivery (modest weight given the housing land supply shortfall) were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of locating development in an unsustainable location contrary to the development plan strategy and NPPF policies directing development to sustainable locations.
