Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan

What decided it

The absence of convincing, site-specific evidence that identified accommodation needs are not being met by existing facilities, combined with the site's poor accessibility and car-dependency, means the proposal fails to comply with Policies BNE5 and INF10.
