Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal scheme is acceptable in land use terms with specific regard to housing and community uses
  • the effect on living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties with specific regard to noise and disturbance
  • the transport effects of the development with specific regard to car use, pedestrians and cyclists
  • biodiversity net gain

What decided it

The appeal scheme would not conflict with the development plan when taken as a whole, as the temporary use would not prejudice the longer-term ability to deliver housing and community uses identified in the local plan allocation, and the proposed conditions would adequately mitigate impacts on living conditions, transport and other matters.
