Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is located in a suitable location having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
  • Whether the dwelling provides adequate living conditions for existing and future occupants, with regard to internal layout, daylight, private amenity space, parking and refuse storage

What decided it

The development satisfied the spatial strategy requirements under the Marton Moss Neighbourhood Plan Policy MM5 as land currently occupied by buildings, and provided adequate living conditions exceeding national and local standards, justifying permission on ground (a).

Plan policies cited: Policy CS1, Policy CS2, Policy CS26, Policy CS7, Policy HSA1, Policy DM5, Policy DM27, Policy MM5, Policy MM2
