Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development

What decided it

The site's location adjacent to Withernsea's development limits, with access to comprehensive services by sustainable transport, combined with the reduced flood risk from the new coastal defences and the proposal's respect for local character, constituted material considerations indicating the proposal should be determined otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.

The conflict with LP Policy S4 (limited weight) was outweighed by the significant weight afforded to the site's sustainability of location, reduced coastal erosion risk, and respect for character and appearance, together with moderate weight given to housing supply and economic benefits.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy S3Policy S4Policy S1Policy S2Policy C3
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 12Paragraph 48Paragraph 84Paragraph 128

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.
