Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Relevant policies for the location of housing in line with the Council's spatial strategy
  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to policies concerned with development in areas at risk of flooding

What decided it

The proposal fails to comply with the spatial strategy as it would not infill a built-up frontage but instead fill a clear visual gap between existing development and a garden centre, contrary to Policies SP03 and LP01.
