Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that approving the details and discharging the condition would have on the development's impact on sustainable transport methods
What decided it

What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy T2 of the Council's Core Strategy (2014, amended 2019)
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.
