Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate housing mix within the settlement

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with Policy RA2 of the Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy because it does not provide an appropriate mix of dwelling sizes to reflect local housing demand, with an over-provision of larger units and no provision for smaller one and two-bedroom units.
