Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for new live/work development with regards to the development strategy for the area and access to services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal accords with Policy SWDP 8G as a specific exception to the countryside development restrictions in Policy SWDP 2, and while it creates some tension with Policy SWDP 4 on sustainable travel, this is outweighed by the Framework's recognition that rural live/work development must necessarily be located in less accessible locations.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SWDP 2Policy SWDP 4Policy SWDP 8
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 84

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.
