Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The modest benefits of the proposal in assisting carbon reduction and tackling climate change, supported by national policy and the Council's climate emergency declaration, outweighed the limited conflict with Policy RM6 where no actual planning harm had been identified.

- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 47Paragraph 56Paragraph 152Paragraph 158
