Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would harm the settlement pattern of the area with regard to local and national policies for housing
- whether or not the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety or have a severe cumulative impact on the road network
What decided it
The proposal's compliance with the site allocation policy SCLP12.51 and the finding that highway safety and cumulative traffic impacts would not be unacceptable or severe.
The limited conflict with NDHA policy SCLP11.6 did not outweigh overall accordance with the development plan as a whole, and no material considerations indicated the appeal should not succeed.
