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.

- Development plan policies
- Policy SP2Policy SP5Policy SP20
