Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to the spatial strategy for the area, and the development's effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the plan-led spatial strategy for housing delivery by locating development outside the defined development boundary, and this conflict outweighs the modest benefits of eight new market dwellings where the Council can demonstrate more than five years' housing land supply.
The modest economic benefits of housing delivery and construction activity were outweighed by the substantial weight given to the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and the plan-led approach to housing delivery
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 3Policy 5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 15
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.
