Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on slope stability

What decided it

The absence of any substantive evidence to demonstrate that a thorough assessment of existing slope stability and any subsequent risk posed by the proposed development has been undertaken meant the scheme could not be shown to be safe and would lead to unacceptable levels of instability contrary to the Framework.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 187Paragraph 196
