Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for housing, having particular regard to the Council's spatial strategy and its access to local facilities and services

What decided it

The site is located at the edge of Farnham, a main settlement, and the development plan explicitly expects housing expansion at the edges of main settlements; combined with the site being previously developed land and having reasonable access to services and facilities, the proposal accords with the development plan taken as a whole.
