Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The site is located outside the main built-up area and the Council has demonstrated sufficient housing provision on course to be exceeded, meaning the proposal fails to meet the criteria in Policy SP4 for releasing non-allocated sites for residential development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP4Policy SP3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 68
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.
