Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for housing having regard to the policies in the development plan
  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the appeal scheme having regard to its designation as Local Green Space
  • Whether or not very special circumstances demonstrate that the development of Local Green Space should be permitted

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan when read as a whole, particularly the Neighbourhood Plan policies protecting the Local Green Space designation and the development boundary, and there are no material considerations that outweigh this conflict.

The modest benefits from housing supply, economic activity during construction and occupation, and other considerations were given moderate weight collectively but fall well short of amounting to very special circumstances to justify development of Local Green Space, and do not indicate that a decision should be made other than in accordance with the development plan.
