Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the planning application was validly made in accordance with statutory requirements regarding identification of the application site and notification of affected landowners
What decided it
The application was not validly made because the submitted plans did not identify all land necessary for the development, particularly the access route to the adopted highway, and the failure to properly notify affected landowners created potential prejudice.
