Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would undermine the efficient and effective use of the wider site, or the policy requirements of the allocation

What decided it

The proposal would jeopardise delivery of the overall number of dwellings, affordable housing, and infrastructure mitigation required by the allocation, and would not accord with the access requirements of Policy CU14.

The modest weight given to the provision of two homes and small economic benefit was outweighed by the significant weight given to the jeopardy to the wider allocation's delivery of dwellings, affordable housing, and infrastructure mitigation.
