Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a dwelling, having regard to local and national planning policies
What decided it
The appeal site's accessible location close to Saughall settlement with good pedestrian, cycling and public transport links to services and facilities rendered it a suitable location for a dwelling despite the conflict with detailed local plan policies on redundancy.
The conflict with Policies DM19 and DM22 was outweighed by the site's sustainable location with good accessibility to services and facilities, which accords with the strategic policies and the Framework's promotion of sustainable rural development
Framework references: 79, 54
Plan policies cited: Policy DM 22, Policy DM 19, Policy STRAT1, Policy STRAT2, Policy STRAT9
