Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for a new dwelling, having regard to Local and National Planning Policies
What decided it
The site's status as previously developed land adjoining the settlement boundary, combined with the proposal's compliance with the Local Plan's settlement strategy and housing distribution policies, outweighed the non-compliance with the neighbourhood plan's affordable housing requirement.
The modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits, together with compliance with the Local Plan's policies for PDL development adjoining settlements, outweighed the non-strict accordance with the neighbourhood plan's affordable housing policies.
