Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local policies which seek to achieve sustainable patterns of development and protect the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location in open countryside at the edge of the settlement, with no strong coherence to the pattern of development, means it does not represent an appropriate location under Local Plan Policy LP2 and would conflict with the sequential test in Policy LP4.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP1Policy LP2Policy LP4Policy LP26
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 124
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.
