Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The absence of evidence demonstrating that permitted commercial uses nearby generate significant and material levels of noise, dust and/or odour, combined with the potential for suitable mitigation measures at the technical details consent stage, meant that residential and commercial uses could co-exist without detriment.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PH1Policy D5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154Paragraph 191Paragraph 193
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
