Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is in an appropriate location for housing
What decided it
The site's location outside settlement boundaries with significantly constrained public transport accessibility and limited local services means it is not a sustainable location and the previously developed land is not appropriate for the proposed residential use.
The modest contribution to housing land supply and socio-economic benefits were insufficient to outweigh the harm derived from the proposal being in an inappropriate location contrary to development plan policy, particularly given the Council can demonstrate a five year housing land supply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SS1Policy NBE1Policy DNP1Policy 1Policy SD1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 79Paragraph 85Paragraph 105Paragraph 110Paragraph 119
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.
