Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition is necessary and reasonable

What decided it

The condition requiring arable food production on Best and Most Versatile land oversteps planning controls and is unreasonable because the land can still be used for other agricultural purposes such as sheep grazing and will be capable of return to arable farming after the temporary 40-year period.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
DP26.k
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 174Paragraph 56

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.
