Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing development in terms of the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether there would be an adverse impact on the living conditions of future occupiers of the development as a result of proximity to the Industrial Estate
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with Policy H/6 which restricts windfall residential development in this location due to poor access and unsustainability, and this policy remains relevant and up-to-date.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S/7Policy H/6Policy HQ/1Policy SC/10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 12Paragraph 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.
