Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would represent a suitable location for housing, having regard to the locational policies of the development plan
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for waste management
- whether material considerations exist that would outweigh any identified development plan conflict so as to justify a grant of planning permission
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan by locating housing in unsuitable countryside location contrary to Policies LP10, LP20 and LP2, and fails to secure adequate waste management provision contrary to Policy LP4, with material considerations affording only limited weight insufficient to outweigh these conflicts.
The development plan conflict, afforded significant weight, was not outweighed by material considerations each attracting only limited weight.
