Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, land use and the amount of development, including the effect of the development on the supply of industrial land in the borough
What decided it
The inclusion of the site on the Council's Brownfield Land Register as suitable for residential development, combined with national policy promoting the effective use of brownfield sites for housing, outweighed the conflict with the local plan policy requiring marketing evidence.
the benefits of developing an underutilised brownfield site identified as suitable for housing on the Council's Brownfield Land Register, in a highly sustainable location with high housing demand, outweighed the conflict with the development plan policy on loss of industrial land

- Development plan policies
- Policy LP28 Part D(i)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 124Paragraph 125Paragraph 126Paragraph 127Paragraph 128
