Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would affect the mix of house sizes in Dartmoor National Park and whether that would result in a conflict with the development plan
What decided it
The minimal increase in floor area would not affect the mix of house sizes or affordability of housing in the National Park, and therefore would not undermine the aims and objectives of Policy 3.7 despite breaching the 30% floorspace limit.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 3.7 of the Dartmoor Local Plan
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.
