Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with particular regard to self-build and custom build development
What decided it
The benefits of boosting housing supply through self-build and custom-build housing in an accessible, well-related location, combined with the material consideration of the extant outline permission for 6 units, outweighed the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
