Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would represent a suitable location for housing, having regard to relevant local and national policies

What decided it

The appeal site should be considered part of the built-up area as a rounding-off opportunity on land physically, functionally and visually related to existing buildings, and the proposal accords with Policy LP9 criteria for sustainable development in small settlements.
