Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal meets the Strategy of the Development Plan, including its aim to safeguard the open countryside
  • whether the proposal would provide an acceptable location for housing, in respect of its accessibility to services and facilities and highway safety
  • whether the proposal makes adequate provision for affordable housing
