Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing having regard to the development plan and national policy
- the effect of the development on living conditions
- whether there are material considerations to warrant a departure from the development plan in the overall planning balance
What decided it
The unilateral undertaking preventing implementation of the extant subdivision permission and any future subdivision of dwellings on the site was a material consideration of considerable weight that justified a decision departing from the development plan.
The conflicts with the development plan regarding location and living conditions were outweighed by the material consideration that the unilateral undertaking would prevent the more harmful fallback position of implementing the extant subdivision permission, thereby avoiding a detrimental cumulative impact of additional open market dwellings at an unsuitable location.
