Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would undermine the plan-making process by pre-determining new development in the emerging local plan
  • Whether the proposal would fulfil the economic and social roles of sustainable development in terms of the provision of infrastructure and accessible local services
  • The effect upon biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole because it delivered part of an allocated housing site in an appropriate settlement, despite minor policy conflicts causing no tangible harm.

Minor conflict with Policies TC3 and HSG4 caused no tangible harm and was outweighed by overall accordance with the development plan's strategic housing allocation, so the proposal was approved without delay under paragraph 11c of the Framework.
