What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HE2 (Design of New Development) of the Christchurch & East Dorset Local Plan: Part 1 Core Strategy (April 2014)
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.
