Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development plan, the provisions of the Framework and access to services and facilities
What decided it
The proposal qualifies as redevelopment of previously developed land and limited infilling within an established group of houses, which is supported in principle by Policy S5 of the Framework, and the benefits of housing delivery outweigh the moderate adverse effects of accessibility and the conflict with the development plan.
The substantial weight given to the benefits of providing homes to address the acknowledged housing land supply shortfall, combined with the support in principle from Policy S5 for redevelopment of PDL and limited infilling, outweighs the moderate weight of adverse effects from accessibility to services and facilities and the conflict with the development plan as a whole.
Plan policies cited: Policy 1 HDPF, Policy 2 HDPF, Policy 4 HDPF, Policy 26 HDPF, Policy 37 HDPF, Policy 1 Storrington, Sullington and Washington Neighbourhood Plan, Policy N2 Framework
