Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site location is suitable for residential development, having regard to accessibility to local facilities and sustainable modes of transport
- Whether the site location is suitable for residential development, having regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of limited accessibility by sustainable modes of transport and material harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one dwelling and self-build provision when assessed against Framework policies taken as a whole.
The modest benefits of housing supply, efficient land use and self-build provision were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the major shortcomings of limited accessibility by sustainable modes of transport and material harm to character and appearance; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
