Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing having regard to the local housing strategy and national policy; and if not whether there are any other considerations that justify a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The cumulative weight of material considerations—particularly the fallback conversion prospect, substantial character and appearance benefits from replacing incongruous built form with well-designed single-storey dwellings, proximity to local services, and use of despoiled land—justified a decision contrary to the development plan.
