Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development with specific regard to the spatial strategy for the area
Whether the proposed development would be at an unacceptable risk from flooding

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would not accord with Policy SP4 of the Core Strategy as it would not represent the filling of a small linear gap in an otherwise built-up residential frontage, and this conflict with the development plan carried substantial weight with no other material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh it.

The harm arising from conflict with the development plan carried substantial weight and there were no other relevant material considerations, including the Framework, worthy of sufficient weight to tip the balance in favour of the proposed development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SP2Policy SP2A(b)Policy SP4Policy SP10
