Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute a suitable location for residential development, having regard to local and national planning policies
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the settlement boundary of Clitheroe conflicts with the spatial strategy set out in Key Statement DS1 and Policies DMG2 and DMH3, and this very significant development plan conflict is not outweighed by the identified benefits, particularly given the Council's demonstrated five-year housing land supply.
The very significant weight afforded to the conflict with the development plan spatial strategy outweighed the benefits of the proposal (housing delivery, affordable housing, over-55s housing, biodiversity gain, and accessibility), which ranged from limited to moderate weight, resulting in dismissal of the appeal
