Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Policy H1a of the Taunton Deane Site Allocations and Development Management Plan (2016)
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.
