Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, with specific regard to the supply of employment land within the Borough
- Whether, if there were harm with regard to employment land, that harm is outweighed by other material considerations
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of employment land contrary to Policy LPD44, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that the site lacks demand or viability for employment use, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LPD44
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.
