Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is suitable for housing having regard to its location, with particular focus on the green belt, spatial strategy of the development plan and access to the highway

What decided it

The site's unsustainable location outside any categorised settlement, requiring reliance on private vehicle journeys and conflicting with the spatial strategy of the development plan, outweighs the limited housing benefit of a single self-build dwelling.

the adverse impacts of granting permission, principally the conflict with the spatial strategy and lack of sustainable transport options, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling on previously developed land

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
