Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the Council's strategic approach to the location of new development and in particular, the accessibility of the site to services and facilities
What decided it
The proposed development would not harm the purposes of the settlement strategy in terms of accessibility or character and appearance, and the limited benefits of housing addition and local economic support constitute 'overriding circumstances' justifying approval under Policy DM1.3.
The limited benefits of housing addition and local economic support, combined with the absence of harm to character and appearance and good accessibility to services and facilities, outweighed the conflict with the spatial strategy underpinning Policy DM1.3.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM1.3, Policy DM1.1, Policy 15, Policy 3
