What decided it
The appeal was not bound to fail despite development plan conflict, as the relevant policy was outdated and current national policy on Green Belts permitted some material changes of use, therefore the appellant did not act unreasonably in pursuing it.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- TODEV2
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
