Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development and being mindful of the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, neighbours and future occupants living conditions and protected species
What decided it
Permission in principle is a two-stage process where matters of principle (location, land use and amount) are separated from technical details, and the Inspector found the principle of development acceptable on the merits, with detailed concerns properly deferred to the Technical Details Consent stage.
