Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be an appropriate form of residential development, having regard to the local development strategy

What decided it

The proposal would result in an inefficient use of land through low-density development that would not achieve the housing yield expected from the size of the appeal site, conflicting with the local development strategy's requirement for efficient use of land and appropriate housing provision.
