Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the appeal site would represent an appropriate location for the proposed dwelling having regard to national and development plan policies, accessibility to services and facilities and sustainable modes of transport

What decided it

The redevelopment of previously developed land falls within the types of development that should be approved under Policy S5 of the Framework unless benefits would be substantially outweighed by adverse effects, and the Inspector found no such substantial outweighing.

the benefits of allowing the appeal, comprising a self-build residential unit and an energy efficient, low carbon dwelling on previously developed land with moderate positive weight, would not be substantially outweighed by any adverse effects when assessed against the national decision-making policies of the Framework
