Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is open space and, if so, whether an assessment has been undertaken which has clearly shown it to be surplus to requirements, or its loss would be replaced by equivalent or better provision in terms of quantity and quality in a suitable location

What decided it

The appeal site is open space and the appellant failed to demonstrate either that it is surplus to requirements or that its loss would be replaced by equivalent or better provision, contrary to NPPF paragraph 104.

the modest contribution to housing delivery was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of allowing the loss of open space without meeting the Framework's clear requirements for justification

Framework references: 104, 11

Plan policies cited: Policy 13, Policy 16, Policy 25, Policy C1, Policy G1
