Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the siting of the proposed installation would prejudice the effective and efficient implementation of housing allocation HS22 of the Kirklees Local Plan Allocations and Designations 2019
What decided it
The proposed mast would occupy only a very small part of the 14.11 hectare housing allocation and would not materially affect the ability of the allocation to deliver new housing, particularly given the absence of firm plans for the allocation to come forward in the near future.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP3 of the Local Plan Strategy and Policies 2019housing allocation HS22 of the Kirklees Local Plan Allocations and Designations 2019
