Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is suitable for new housing and whether future occupants of the development would have reasonable access to services and facilities
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the locational exceptions in the development plan by not forming part of a cluster of five or more dwellings and would result in unsustainable access to services and facilities, with the limited benefits not outweighing the significant harm to the plan-led approach.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SCLP3.2SCLP3.3SCLP5.3SCLP5.4
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
