Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area
What decided it
The appeal site's location outside the defined settlement boundary in open countryside, in conflict with the Council's spatial strategy and development plan policies, could not be justified by the modest housing benefits when the Council can demonstrate a deliverable five year housing land supply.
the modest benefits of four dwellings and quick delivery did not outweigh the conflict with the Council's spatial strategy and development plan, particularly given the Council's demonstrated five year housing land supply
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS01CS02CS06CS08DM2DM3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 145Paragraph 84Paragraph 11
