Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site would be a suitable location for housing development with regard to local and national planning policy

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that a new dwelling was essential, since the existing dwelling (Stevedon House) could continue to provide the required 24-hour cover for the cattery business.

The limited economic, community and environmental benefits of the proposal did not outweigh its conflict with Policy 1 and the development plan as a whole.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 80

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.
