Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would comply with development plan policy on the location of new housing
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether there are material considerations to outweigh any policy conflicts identified in relation to the above matters

What decided it

The absence of material harm to character and appearance, combined with the sustainable location and the positive material considerations of wheelchair accessibility and self-build provision, outweighed the conflict with JCS Policy MTRA4.

The policy conflict with JCS Policy MTRA4 was outweighed by the absence of character and appearance harm, the sustainable location with good access to services, the delivery of a wheelchair accessible dwelling, and the self-build contribution, together with the proposal's contribution to housing supply.
