Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site's location accords with local policies that seek to direct residential development to sustainable locations that minimise the need to travel by private vehicle
What decided it
The site's location within the Plymouth Urban Fringe in close proximity to Plymouth (around 1km away) accords with the Joint Local Plan's spatial strategy to prioritise development in and around Plymouth, and Policy PLY61 does not preclude residential development in this context.
Plan policies cited: Policy SO1, Policy SPT1, Policy SPT2, Policy PLY61, Policy DEV32, Policy DEV26
Judgments cited: Wheatcroft Ltd v SSE [1982]
