Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the site is a suitable site for housing having regard to the development plan policies for the location of new development

What decided it

The substantial weight given to the self-build status of the dwelling and the significant unmet demand for self-build and custom housebuilding in the borough, combined with the site's accessibility to services and its compatibility with the character of the area, outweighed the conflict with the development plan.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
DS1DMG2DMH3
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 11

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.
