Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to location, land use and the amount of development proposed

What decided it

The site's location in a residential area, its generous length enabling appropriate layout and scale, and the precedent of the adjacent bungalow demonstrating that backland residential development could be achieved without harming neighbouring amenity, satisfied the Inspector that the site was suitable for residential development in principle.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy BDP1 of the Bromsgrove District Plan 2011-2030
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 11Paragraph 12

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.
