Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the location of the appeal site is suitable for housing with regard to local and national planning policies
- whether or not the proposal delivers an appropriate density / mix of housing, makes appropriate provision for Green Infrastructure and provides an acceptable access point
- whether the proposal would affect the setting and significance of the Honeybourne Conservation Area
- whether or not the proposal makes appropriate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The redevelopment of brownfield land in an accessible location with reasonable services, combined with the modest scale of the proposal and material considerations including housing supply and affordable housing contributions, outweighed the conflict with the development plan's settlement boundary policy.
