Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to location, proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The Council's housing land supply of only 2.38 years, combined with the site's status as grey belt land meeting the criteria in NPPF Paragraph 155, justified the grant of permission in principle for residential development.
