Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for business space, having regard to supporting economic growth and the requirements of the development plan
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal secures adequate provision for any additional need for education, public open space and health provision arising from the development, and mitigation measures relating to the Penhale Dunes Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The failure to adequately demonstrate that the proposal would make adequate provision for business space having regard to supporting economic growth and the requirements of LP Policy 5, which was given significant weight and outweighed the moderate benefits of housing provision and other benefits.
The significant weight given to the conflict with LP Policy 5 on business space provision outweighed the moderate weight afforded to housing supply on previously developed land and the limited benefits of public open space, biodiversity net gain, commercial uses and construction industry support, resulting in dismissal.
