Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the proposed development is acceptable, considering the strategic aims of the development plan

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan's settlement hierarchy and strategic aims, and the Council's adequate housing land supply means the modest housing benefit does not outweigh this conflict.

The modest benefit to housing supply and the enhancement to the vitality of Colgate did not outweigh the harm caused by failing to accord with the development plan as a whole

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 1 HDPFPolicy 2 HDPFPolicy 3 HDPFPolicy 4 HDPFPolicy 26 HDPF
