Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the location of the site for residential development
What decided it
The recently adopted development plan policies SPL1 and SPL2 clearly restrict development outside Settlement Development Boundaries in countryside locations, and with a 6.5-year housing land supply demonstrated, the tilted balance does not apply to override these policies.
The sustainability benefits and local facility arguments were outweighed by the clear restrictive policies of the up-to-date development plan and the absence of a housing land supply shortfall to trigger the tilted balance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SPL1Policy SPL2Policy EN2Policy PPL6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 2Paragraph 11Paragraph 12Paragraph 79
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.
