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

Future occupiers would be heavily dependent on the private motor vehicle to access services and facilities, contrary to Framework policies TR3 and CC2 requiring sustainable patterns of movement and limiting the need to travel by car, and this adverse effect substantially outweighs the limited housing benefit.

The benefits of providing up to three dwellings to address housing shortfall and limited construction-phase economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of car dependency and unsustainable location when assessed against Framework policies TR3 and CC2.
