Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

The significant benefits of housing delivery and social and economic benefits of the development outweighed the limited conflicts with Policies S7 and GEN1 and the Framework, applying the tilted balance under Paragraph 11d

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 79Paragraph 105Paragraph 112Paragraph 174
