Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the deliverability of an allocated site
What decided it
The break clause in the lease agreement with Network Rail provides a safeguard for future redevelopment of the railway station, and the temporary nature of the permission means the development would not prevent delivery of the allocated site.

- Development plan policies
- Policy AP51
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.
