Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year supply of deliverable housing sites, combined with the finding that the proposal would not have a materially harmful effect on highway safety, meant the benefits of housing delivery outweighed the conflict with the out-of-date Policy H9.

The adverse impacts of granting permission, including conflict with the out-of-date Policy H9, would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and the neutral effect on highway safety when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy BE5Policy H9
National Planning Policy Framework

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.
