Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is sustainable development that is in accordance with the Development Plan, when read as a whole, with particular reference to: a) Its housing policies; b) Contamination
- Whether there are any material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh the presumption in favour of determining planning applications in accordance with the Development Plan
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion, based on detailed geological and monitoring evidence, that the risk of contamination and landfill gas migration could be safely mitigated so as not to pose a significant risk to health and safety, meaning the proposal accorded with Policy 19 and the development plan as a whole.
the proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole and no material considerations of sufficient weight existed to outweigh the presumption in favour of determining the application in accordance with the plan, so the appeal succeeded
