Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether it has been demonstrated that the proposed loss of the existing Class C2 use would be acceptable having regard to the approach in the development plan
- whether the proposal would make effective use of the land
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and the benefits of housing delivery outweighed the conflict with policies protecting community facilities.
the benefits of delivering one additional home in an area of considerable housing need and modest social and economic benefits outweighed the moderate harm from loss of the Class C2 use and conflict with development plan policies
