Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal would provide realistic travel alternatives to the private car
  • whether or not it would lead to harmful visual coalescence
  • whether the proposal would harm highway safety and convenience
  • the effect of the proposal on the Teesmouth & Cleveland Coast Special Protection Area (SPA)

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan as an allocated site, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies given the likely out-of-date status of the Local Plan and the absence of any adverse impacts that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

The benefits of housing delivery and compliance with the development plan, together with the presumption in favour of sustainable development, outweighed any concerns raised by the Council, with no adverse impacts identified that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
