Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for a veterinary surgery having regard to the development plan
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a residential dwelling in an area where the development plan seeks to support residential development, and the appellant failed to justify why substantial alternative sites in District Centres were unsuitable, combined with the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
