Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal provides a suitable density and mix of housing
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the density and housing mix requirements of Policy SP3 of the Craven Local Plan, which is based on clear evidence in the Strategic Housing Market Assessment, and no material considerations are of sufficient weight to justify departure from the development plan.

- Development plan policies
- Policy SP3
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.
