Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the availability of employment sites
  • whether the proposal would make an appropriate contribution to the range of unit sizes required to meet housing needs
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the Arun Valley protected sites
