Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would accord with the Carlton Masterplan Framework and Delivery Strategy, including in relation to housing density
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety and whether the development would be designed to encourage sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The resolution of the Council's technical objections (highway, heritage, ecology and drainage) combined with the substantial weight attributable to the Council's lack of a 5 year housing land supply outweighed the limited conflict with the Masterplan and Delivery Strategy.
the small degree of conflict with the Masterplan and Delivery Strategy was far outweighed by the benefits of the scheme, including addressing the Council's lack of a 5 year housing land supply, such that the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole
