Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to development plan policy and the Framework.

What decided it

The proposal's compliance with LP Policy LP4 as small-scale housing on the edge of the Primary Market Town of March, given the settlement's housing need and pattern of allocations.

The proposal accorded with the development plan and there were no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate a decision otherwise, so the appeal was allowed.
