Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to local and national planning policies on the location of housing

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with up-to-date Neighbourhood Development Plan policies HO1 and HO2 that restrict market housing outside defined settlement boundaries, and paragraph 14 of the NPPF provides that such conflict is likely to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

The moderate benefits of one residential unit and short-term construction employment were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the conflict with up-to-date development plan policies that form part of a planned strategy for housing growth within defined settlement boundaries

Framework references: 11, 12, 14, 89, 124
