Refusal

The site is not zoned for residential development in the Local Plan, and is within open countryside in a location which would encourage the use of the private car rather than provide persuasive opportunities for people to use other modes of transport; the traffic generated by the development would add traffic to a road of rural character where there are a number of hazards already; these shortcomings are not overcome by the affordable housing benefits that the development would bring.
