Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue in the appeal is whether or not the Council's decision to refuse the LDC was well-founded.

What decided it

The appellant failed to prove, on the balance of probabilities, that the 1967 permission concerned the same planning unit as the appeal site and had been implemented, so the Newbury principle could not be relied upon to disapply the 1971 condition.

What the Inspector cited

Judgments
Newbury DC v Secretary of State for the Environment [1981] A.C. 578

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.
