Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal makes effective use of land

What decided it

In the absence of specific local policies requiring comprehensive development and given separate ownership of the sites, the Framework's support for effective use of land did not, by itself, justify refusing a proposal that would make effective use of the appeal site in accordance with the development plan.
