Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The loss of allocated public open space and whether or not the proposal would accord with the Middlesbrough Local Plan (1999); policies MW1 and MW3 of the Marton West Neighbourhood Plan (MWNP) (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The conflict between saved Policy E7 of the Local Plan and the more recently adopted Marton West Neighbourhood Plan must be resolved in favour of the MWNP, which does not designate the appeal site as allocated open space, thereby removing the policy objection to the development.
