Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be in an acceptable location, having regard to local and national policy which seeks to direct new development to locations where residents can access employment and services by sustainable modes of travel

What decided it

The proposal would not constitute small-scale windfall infill development as required by Policy LP01 and would therefore fail to comply with the development plan's strategy to direct new homes to the most sustainable locations.
