Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed residential development, having regard to relevant provisions of the development plan

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the Council's spatial strategy and the development plan when read as a whole could not be outweighed by the material benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision.

The significant benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision were insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy CP1, Policy CP2, Policy CP3, Policy CP15
