Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of family housing
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety and on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The conflict with policies DMH 2 and H10 regarding the loss of family housing and failure to provide the housing mix required by robust local evidence of need outweighed the absence of harm to highway safety and character and appearance.

The conflict with housing mix policy and the significant demonstrated need for family housing outweighed the non-conflict with character and appearance and highway safety policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMH 2, Policy H10, Policy DMT 2, Policy DMHB 11, Policy DMHD 1, Policy BE1
