Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the development would make an efficient use of land

What decided it

Policy CS17's exception for lower density development where necessary to preserve valued character, combined with the conservation area's established low-density character which would be harmed by higher-density alternatives, justified accepting the proposal despite its density falling below the 30 dph minimum.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CS17
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 129Paragraph 130

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.
