Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the spatial strategy for the area
- whether there is a five year housing land supply
What decided it
The Council's demonstrated 5.31-year housing land supply removed the paragraph 11 presumption, leaving the fundamental conflict with the settlement hierarchy policies (CS Policy 1, LP Policy EN1, BNP Policy RES1) to substantially outweigh the scheme's benefits.
the significant benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing and economic growth were substantially outweighed by the fundamental conflict with the spatial strategy policies (CS Policy 1, LP Policy EN1, BNP Policy RES1)
