Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development is suitably located, having regard to relevant development plan policies
The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the site
Other considerations, including personal circumstances

What decided it

The appellant's health-related personal circumstances, taken with the lessened weight attributable to the locational and living-conditions harms, tipped the planning balance in favour of allowing the appeal.

The mitigated weight given to the conflict with the spatial policy and to the potential loss of a G&T pitch, combined with the health-related personal justification for the development, outweighed the identified harm and conflict with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy SP5, Policy SP20

- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
