Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal accords with the settlement strategy of the Development Plan
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity

What decided it

The significant positive weight given to compliance with the emerging Stroud District Local Plan Review Policy PS42, which allocates the site for housing and proposes to include it within the revised settlement boundary, combined with the provision of custom-build and affordable housing and absence of harm to character and appearance, outweighed the conflict with the adopted development plan.

Framework references: 48

Plan policies cited: Core Policy CP15, Local Sites Allocation Policy PS42
