Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing with regard to local and national policies

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy for housing location and would undermine the plan-led system by locating new-build dwellings outside the defined settlement boundary of Broad Oak.
