Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The site's position between the A30 and continuous built development means it fills a small gap in an otherwise continuous built frontage and constitutes infill development rather than extension into open countryside, meeting the requirements of CLP Policy 3 and PNP Housing Policies 2 and 3.
